With the advent of the aging era, people are increasingly concerned about the life needs of the elderly. However, in the digital age, the Internet integration rate of the elderly is relatively low, and the elderly are faced with a series of life problems due to their inability to use smart phones and other smart products. Smart phones, which are convenient and efficient for the young, seem to have become a “digital divide” that the elderly cannot leap over.
