With the growth of China's aging population, traditional elderly-care services no longer meet the large and diversified needs of the elderly today. With the support of scientific and technological development, the digital elderly-care industry has developed in China. Many scholars have discussed the benefits of the digital elderly-care industry, this article will discuss the problems and suggestions specifically for China's digital elderly-care industry. By using quantitative analysis, we found that there are both industrial perspective and server-perspective problems in the industry. This paper will be useful for the market participants and scholars.
