Abstract

As the population ages and the prevalence of chronic diseases rises, the conventional passive healthcare service paradigm is unable to provide health requirements. digital health promotion facilitate health monitoring, risk assessment, and intervention advice through the utilization of Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and other technologies, offering an innovative solution for healthcare integration. We examine the conceptual implications and developmental status of digital health promotion, addresses the practical challenges encountered in their development, and proposes recommendations for advancement through multifaceted approaches including policy enhancement, technological integration, and talent development, aiming to offer insights for the execution of healthy aging strategy.
