Digital Geriatric Medical Care in the Era of Big Data: A Narrative Review and Case Study of a Chinese Aged Care Facility.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the development prospects and trends of digital geriatric medical care in the era of big data. By taking the Longhu Ecological Senior Apartment in Bengbu City as a case example, the study examines the integration of intelligent healthcare systems for elderly populations and proposes solutions to bridge the digital divide, ensuring accessible healthcare for seniors in the context of rapid technological advancements. Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a review of national policies and global practices with an in-depth case study at the Longhu Ecological Senior Apartment in Bengbu City. Quantitative data on residents' demographics, health status, and technology adoption were collected from institutional records. Qualitative insights were obtained through semi-structured interviews with administrative staff and caregivers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results: More than 95% of the residents suffered from chronic illnesses, and 73.30% were aged 80 years or above. Despite the availability of smart medical devices, 48.80% of residents reported difficulty in using digital tools due to insufficient technological literacy, and 46.30% were unaware of product functions. Economic burden and safety concerns further hindered acceptance. The gap between the rapid growth of digital health services and seniors' limited ability to engage created a pronounced digital divide. Conclusion: To cope with the growing elderly population, digital healthcare must be further developed and tailored to meet the specific needs of the elderly. Bridging the digital divide through user-friendly technologies and policy support is crucial. The integration of 5G, telemedicine, and virtual reality holds great potential for improving elderly healthcare services, but a coordinated effort from the government, healthcare providers, and technology developers is necessary for sustainable and effective implementation.
