Objective

To analyze the impact of smart healthcare on the health of middle-aged and elderly individuals and to provide references for exploring pathways to healthy aging.

Methods

The smart city pilot programs were treated as a quasi-natural experiment for smart healthcare. Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this research employed the difference-in-differences approach and an improved mediation effect model to examine the impact of smart healthcare on the health of middle-aged and elderly individuals and the mechanisms involved.

Results

Smart healthcare significantly improved the health levels of middle-aged and elderly individuals (P<0.05). Enhancing self-health management and promoting the utilization of medical services were important mechanisms through which smart healthcare improved health outcomes.

Conclusion

Smart healthcare has a positive impact on the health of middle-aged and elderly individuals, with variations observed among different subgroups. It is essential to eliminate barriers to the application of smart technologies, bridge the digital divide among the elderly population, and advance equitable access to healthcare services.
