摘要: 山东省农村智慧养老平台建设是应对人口老龄化、优化养老服务供给、推动乡村振兴的重要路径。当前,农村地区老龄化程度深、高龄化趋势显著,传统家庭养老模式面临劳动力短缺、经济压力、服务碎片化等多重困境,亟需通过智慧养老平台实现服务模式创新与资源优化配置。然而,平台在技术适配性、经济可持续性、社会接受度及政策协同性等方面仍存在系统性挑战。技术层面,农村数字基础设施薄弱,智能终端普及率低,平台设计缺乏适老化考量,导致老年人使用门槛高;经济层面,财政投入不足,社会资本参与度低,老年人支付能力有限,制约平台推广;社会层面,传统养老观念根深蒂固,代际数字鸿沟加剧,基层组织服务能力不足,影响平台落地效果;政策层面,标准体系不完善,跨部门协同机制缺失,监管机制不健全,制约平台规范化发展。为此,需从多维度系统推进:强化技术适配性,优化平台设计,完善基础设施,提升数据安全性;加大财政支持力度,创新市场化融资机制,建立普惠性保障政策;深化文化引导,推动家庭代际协同,增强社会认同;健全标准体系,完善治理机制,强化跨部门协同。通过技术、经济、社会与政策的协同发力,构建覆盖全面、运行高效、可持续的农村智慧养老服务体系,切实提升农村老年人的生活质量,为全国农村养老模式创新提供实践路径与制度保障。未来,需持续关注技术迭代、政策优化与社会协同,推动智慧养老平台从“可及”向“可享”、“可优”转变,为实现老有颐养目标奠定坚实基础。智慧养老不仅是技术赋能的工具,更是社会文明进步的体现,其发展将深刻影响农村社会治理结构、公共服务体系与老年人生活质量,为新时代乡村振兴注入持久动力。
Abstract: The construction of smart elderly care platforms in rural areas in Shandong Province is a critical approach to addressing the aging population, optimizing the supply of elderly care services, and promoting rural revitalization. Currently, rural areas face deepening aging trends, with a significant proportion of elderly individuals, while traditional family-based elderly care models encounter challenges such as labor shortages, economic pressures, and fragmented service delivery. These issues necessitate the innovation of service models and the optimization of resource allocation through smart elderly care platforms. However, the platform still faces systematic challenges in terms of technological adaptability, economic sustainability, social acceptance, and policy coordination. Technologically, rural digital infrastructure remains weak, smart terminal penetration is low, and platform design lacks age-friendly considerations, leading to high usage barriers for the elderly. Economically, insufficient fiscal investment, limited participation of social capital, and limited payment capacity of the elderly hinder platform expansion. Socially, entrenched traditional elderly care concepts, the digital divide between generations, and insufficient capacity of grassroots organizations affect the platform’s implementation. Policy-wise, the standardization system is incomplete, cross-departmental coordination mechanisms are lacking, and regulatory frameworks are not yet sound, which restricts the platform’s standardized development. To address these challenges, a multi-dimensional and systematic approach is required: enhancing technological adaptability, optimizing platform design, improving infrastructure, and strengthening data security; increasing fiscal support, innovating market-oriented financing mechanisms, and establishing inclusive guarantee policies; deepening cultural guidance, promoting intergenerational collaboration, and enhancing social recognition; and establishing a standardized system, improving governance mechanisms, and reinforcing cross-departmental coordination. Through the coordinated efforts of technology, economy, society, and policy, a comprehensive, efficient, and sustainable rural smart elderly care service system can be built to effectively improve the quality of life for rural elderly individuals and provide practical pathways and institutional guarantees for the innovation of rural elderly care models nationwide. In the future, continuous attention should be given to technological iteration, policy optimization, and social collaboration to drive the transformation of smart elderly care platforms from “accessible” to “enjoyable” and “optimal,” laying a solid foundation for achieving the goal of aging with dignity. Smart elderly care is not only a tool for technological empowerment, but also a reflection of social civilization progress, with its development profoundly influencing rural social governance structures, public service systems, and the quality of life for the elderly, injecting sustained momentum into the new era of rural revitalization.
