Abstract

Under the double impact of aging and the digital divide, China is facing a severe pension problem. Promoting smart pension services can help solve this problem. This paper mainly discusses how to promote the use intention of intelligent elderly care service through digital trust. In this study, 403 valid questionnaires were obtained through questionnaire survey. The results showed that respondents' perceived ease of use of digital tools and applications significantly affected their digital trust and willingness to use them. However, considering digital trust, digital risk has no significant effect on willingness to use. This study suggests that strengthening the digital knowledge and skills of the elderly and strengthening their trust in smart elderly care services can help improve their willingness to use, and resolve the dual impact of aging and the digital divide.
