ABSTRACT

With the intensification of population aging, the demand for health education among older adults is growing rapidly. Traditional approaches are increasingly inadequate in meeting the personalized and continuous learning needs of this population. Guided by the concept of lifelong education, this study explores the application pathways of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in community-based health education for older adults. Through a combination of literature review and case studies, the study summarizes the practical forms and actual outcomes of AI-assisted health education. The findings indicate that AI, through tools such as voice assistants, health monitoring devices, and personalized content delivery, significantly improves the efficiency, interactivity, and adaptability of health education. It also enhances older adults’ awareness of and capacity for health management. AI empowerment provides new solutions for health education in aging societies. Future efforts should focus on strengthening technological support and community collaboration to promote the development of an intelligent and sustainable health education system.
