ABSTRACT

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming lifestyles worldwide. With the accelerated aging of China population, challenges in elderly care services have become increasingly prominent, underscoring the urgent need for effective technology-enabled solutions. In this context, investigating how AI can effectively enhance home-based elderly care services holds substantial theoretical and practical significance. This study develops a research model of AI-enabled home-based elderly care grounded in Iceberg Theory and Technology Cognition Theory. Drawing on a survey of 300 elderly individuals and their adult children in Shenzhen China. the research thoroughly examines the intrinsic relationship between elderly care needs and AI technology applications. The findings offer both a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for leveraging AI to optimize urban home-based elderly care services, ultimately contributing to the improvement of elderly individuals' quality of life.
