摘要：
隨著高齡人口快速增加，以福祉科技與人工智慧提升高齡照護服務效率與品質，已成為各國醫療與長期照護政策的重要發展方向。近年來，智慧居家感測系統、穿戴式健康監測裝置與遠距健康管理平台逐漸被導入高齡照護體系，使健康監測、慢性病管理與居家安全管理得以在家庭環境中持續進行，並透過遠距醫療服務與醫療體系建立連結。
本研究以銀髮照護智慧科技應用為核心，透過既有研究報告與國內外案例資料整理，盤點目前智慧照護科技在高齡照護領域的主要應用模式。研究將相關應用歸納為穿戴式健康裝置應用遠距健康監測、智慧居家安全監測，以及結合遠距醫療服務的在宅醫療與虛擬病房（Virtual Ward）等整合型服務模式。
研究結果顯示，銀髮照護智慧科技的發展正由單一設備應用逐步轉向整合型照護服務，其關鍵除了科技設備本身，更在於科技系統如何嵌入既有醫療與長期照護服務流程，促進醫療機構、照護服務單位與家庭照護者之間的協作。透過智慧居家監測與遠距醫療服務的整合，高齡照護服務有機會朝向即時化、個人化與連續性的照護模式發展。本研究透過應用模式盤點與服務情境分析，提出銀髮照護智慧科技整合發展的初步架構，作為未來智慧居家照護與遠距醫療服務發展之參考。
With the rapid growth of the aging population, enhancing the efficiency and quality of elderly care services through welfare technology and artificial intelligence has become a key policy direction in healthcare and long-term care systems worldwide. In recent years, smart home sensing systems, wearable health monitoring devices, and remote health management platforms have increasingly been introduced into elderly care services. These technologies enable continuous health monitoring, chronic disease management, and home safety management within domestic environments, while establishing connections with healthcare systems through telemedicine services.
This study focuses on the application of smart technologies in elderly care and reviews existing research reports and international case studies to identify major application models in this field. The analysis categorizes current applications into several key areas, including smart home safety monitoring, remote health monitoring and chronic disease management, wearable health devices, and integrated service models such as home-based medical care and virtual wards supported by telemedicine services.
The findings indicate that the development of smart elderly care technologies is shifting from single-device applications toward integrated care service models. The key factor is not only the technology itself, but also how technological systems are embedded within existing healthcare and long-term care service processes, facilitating collaboration among medical institutions, care service providers, and family caregivers. By integrating smart home monitoring and telemedicine services, elderly care has the potential to evolve toward more real-time, personalized, and continuous care models. Based on the analysis of application models and service scenarios, this study proposes a preliminary framework for the integrated development of smart technologies in elderly care, providing insights for the future development of smart home care and telemedicine services.
