我国正处于老年人口数量较多、老龄化速度加快、应对人口老龄化任务繁重的阶段，利用现代化技术建立老年智慧康养平台是解决我国养老问题的有效途径。本文阐述了建设老年智慧康养平台的背景以及相关概念与发展现状，以杭州市西湖区老年智慧康养平台为案例，深入分析了老年智慧康养平台的建设模型与发展面临的问题，进而总结了我国老年智慧康养平台的共性特征。研究提出了我国老年智慧康养平台的建设路径：以科技手段助力实现健康中国为建设目标，以全国康养信息和数据的互联互通为建设基础，构建“社区嵌入型”智慧康养服务综合体来调动服务资源，开展远程健康数据监测和健康管理来强化信息支撑，发挥地域优势并促进本土康养产业升级。为此建议，推动康养产业及科技转化，健全老年人精神需求保障机制，完善老年人能力评估体系，构建智慧康养标准体系，协调城乡智慧康养产业发展。

China has a large elderly population and its aging speed is accelerating, which pose a significant challenge for the country to cope with problems induced by population ageing. To address this, it is necessary to establish a smart health care platform for the elderly in China using modern technologies. In this paper, we analyze the construction background, concept, and development status of smart health care platforms for the elderly in China. Using the smart health care platform established in Xihu District of Hangzhou City as a case, we analyze the construction model and challenges of the platform and summarize the common features of the platforms in China. Moreover, we propose an implementation path for platform development in China. The platform should be built to contribute to the establishment of a Healthy China using scientific and technological means and based on the interconnection of national health care information and data; service resources need to be mobilized to provide a community-based comprehensive service; remote health data monitoring and health management are required to strengthen information support; and geographical advantages need to be maximized to promote local elderly health care industries. Furthermore, we suggest that China should accelerate the construction of its health care industry as well as the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, improve the health assessment system for guaranteeing the physical and mental health of the elderly, accelerate the construction of the relevant standards system, and coordinate urban–rural development in this industry.
