A forum on China's international healthcare industry development and investment, together with the second Beijing pension finance innovation summit, was held alongside the 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services. The forum addressed the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare and elderly care.
The Blue Book on the Silver Economy: China Silver Economy Development Report (2025) shows that China's silver economy exceeded RMB 9 trillion in 2025. AI-driven health management platforms, smart nursing robots, mobility aids, voice interaction assistants, and other intelligent products are accelerating into practical use.
The smart elderly care industry faces issues including weak generalization ability of AI models, data silos across the sector, and insufficient scenario adaptation. At present, mid- and low-end digital medical and elderly care products have achieved large-scale deployment, while high-level knowledge-driven intelligent traditional Chinese medicine systems remain at the exploratory stage.
