THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND


Introduction

With societies throughout the world having to confront the challenges

imposed on by an aging population, the real estate sector is undergoing a significant

shift. A significant area of attention for the real estate industry is innovation in aged

care techniques due to the rise in the number of older people needing care and

support. The purpose of this introduction is to examine the different influencing

elements that form innovative methods in senior care within the real estate market,

emphasizing the necessity for adaptable solutions to satisfy the particular demands

and preferences of the aging population.

The demographic shift towards an aging population is one of the key

influencing factors in the creative approaches to aged care in the real estate

business. The number of old people in the population is growing quickly as life

expectancy increases and birth rates fall. Due to this demographic change, the

housing and care industries must come up with creative solutions to meet the

specific demands and preferences of elderly people. In recent years, there has been

a significant change in the expectations and preferences of the senior population

with regard to care and living conditions. Options that promote independence,

autonomy, and a sense of community while still providing comprehensive healthcare

and support services are becoming more and more popular with older people. The
real estate sector's innovative approaches to aged care must adjust to these shifting 2

demands by offering a variety of housing options, specific amenities, and

specialized care services.

Technology development is a key factor in the development of innovative

strategies for elderly care in the real estate sector. Technology offers a wide range

of opportunities to improve care quality, increase safety, and enable older adults to

continue living at home, from wearable technology and smart homes to remote

condition monitoring and assistive robots. By incorporating these technologies into

real estate projects, it is possible to give individualized and effective care while

encouraging independent living and enhancing older individuals' overall wellbeing.

The real estate sector's innovative methods to elderly care are becoming

more and more influenced by environmental and sustainability factors. There is an

increasing need for eco-friendly and energy-efficient architecture as society

becomes more aware of how buildings affect the environment. Including green

areas, outdoor access, and eco-friendly methods into elderly care facilities may also

improve the wellbeing and quality of life for senior citizens.

So many influencing factors impact how innovation in elderly care is

approached in the real estate sector. New and flexible models of aged care are

being created as a result of demographic changes, evolving geriatric expectations

and preferences, technological breakthroughs, environmental issues, and


governmental frameworks. The real estate sector can play a critical role in ensuring 3

that older persons receive high-quality, person-centered care while also tackling the

mounting social difficulties brought on by an aging population by comprehending

and responding to these contributing elements.

Background of the Study

The world population is aging quickly, which is forcing a big paradigm change

in the real estate sector. This demographic growth presents both distinct obstacles

and possibilities for the real estate industry's development of cutting-edge strategies

for aged care. Forging successful marketing strategies that address the changing

requirements of the aged population requires an understanding of the driving forces

behind these novel approaches.

Developing successful marketing strategies that address the changing

requirements of the aged population requires an understanding of the driving forces

behind these novel approaches. This study's backdrop examines the important

elements that affect the real estate sector's adoption of novel elder care tactics,

laying the groundwork for the creation of marketing plans to advertise and

distinguish such services.

The real estate business, particularly elder care, has undergone significant

change as a result of the quick development of technology. Technology is crucial in

providing effective and individualized care solutions, from smart home automation to
telemedicine and remote monitoring systems. Real estate developers may attract 4

tech-savvy senior people and their families by highlighting the creative nature of

their elder care services and incorporating the most recent technological

developments into their marketing strategies. Elderly people's lifestyle preferences

and expectations for elder care are changing as the older population differs. Many

senior citizens are looking for socially and physically active situations that support

their wellbeing, independence, and feeling of belonging. The positioning of new

elder care solutions within the real estate sector as chances for seniors to pursue

full and satisfying lives must take into consideration these shifting preferences in

marketing initiatives.

Elder care services, as well as the real estate market, are increasingly being

influenced by sustainability and environmental concerns. The environmental effect

of older individuals' living arrangements is a growing issue for them and their

families, who want ecologically friendly design practices, energy-efficient structures,

and access to green areas.

Real estate developers may distinguish out together with their cutting-edge

elder care products by using sustainability as a core marketing theme and woo eco-

aware customers.

In this study of creating efficient marketing program initiatives that address the

demands of the senior population, it is important to understand the driving forces


behind cutting-edge elder care practices in the real estate sector. The elder care 5

landscape is influenced by changes in the population, technology improvements,

lifestyle choices, environmental issues, and regulatory frameworks. By taking into

account these factors, real estate developers can effectively position their cutting-

edge elder care services, differentiate their offerings, and develop persuasive

marketing campaigns that connect with the target market, likely leading in

mainstream success and better care outcomes for elderly people.

Theoretical Framework

This study is grounded with the innovative approaches of elderly care in the

real estate industry. According to Talin, 2023, Innovation is the practical

implementation of ideas that leads to various new sorts of new offerings, including

as goods, services, processes, and business models, with the aim of enhancing or

disrupting current applications or developing new solutions, this model of Innovation

in the Real Estate

Architectural Innovation

Innovative methods of providing care for the elderly are developed in large

part through architectural innovation. Environments that encourage wellness, safety,

and a good quality of life must be urgently created as the older population rises. A

fundamental idea in architectural innovation for elderly care is aging-in-place design.

In order to promote independence and reduce the need for institutionalized care, it

focuses on developing living environments that enable older individuals to age

comfortably in their own homes or communities. To address mobility issues and

guarantee ease of movement within the living environment, features including


single-level layouts, larger entrances, grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and accessible 7

facilities are implemented.

The use of technology into the architectural design is a common component

of cutting-edge approaches to elder care. To improve safety, advance health

management, and enable remote care, assistive technology, smart home systems,

sensor-based monitoring, and telehealth capabilities are combined. These

technology developments help provide more effective and individualized care,

allowing older persons to age in home and maintain their wellbeing. Technology

integration into architectural design is a common component of creative methods to

caring for the elderly. To improve safety, support health management, and enable

remote care, assistive technologies, sensor-based monitoring, smart home systems,

and telehealth capabilities are all used. These technology developments help

provide care that is more effective and individualized, allowing older individuals to

age in place while still being safe and healthy.

Advanced techniques of providing care for the elderly are developed in large

part through architectural innovation. In order to build care facilities that promote the

wellbeing, autonomy, and dignity of elderly people, aging-in-place design, person-

centered design principles, integration of technology, environmental concerns,

multifunctional spaces, and safety precautions are all important. The aged care

industry can give elders with changing surroundings that improve their quality of life,
encourage independence, and meet their changing requirements by embracing 8

architectural innovation.

Radical Innovation

The introduction of innovative and disruptive ideas, concepts, or behaviors

that fundamentally alter present system is referred to as radical innovation. When it

comes to creating new strategies to address the specific requirements and

difficulties encountered by the aging population, radical innovation is essential.

Radical innovation in elder care uses cutting-edge technology to provide

game-changing solutions. This involves using telemedicine, virtual reality, robots,

and artificial intelligence into clinical procedures. For instance, telemedicine enables

remote monitoring and healthcare services, virtual reality can improve cognitive

stimulation and mental health, and robotic companions can offer social connection

and help. These innovations might transform how care is provided, increase older

people's access to healthcare, and improve their quality of life in general.

Elderly care includes the design and development of care facilities. This

involves designing facilities with an emphasis on comfort, safety, and accessibility.

As an illustration, creating age-friendly living areas, adding natural features, and

encouraging social interaction inside care facilities. By the creation of spaces that

suit their holistic requirements, these cutting-edge design ideas help improve the

physical and emotional health of older people. The necessity of ongoing study and
learning is highlighted in the field of elder care. This includes funding research and 9

development projects to investigate cutting-edge technology, industry standards,

and models of evidence-based care. Care providers may adjust and develop their

methods to suit the changing requirements of older individuals and provide the

highest levels of care by being at the cutting edge of knowledge and innovation.

Incremental Innovation

The concept of incremental innovation emphasizes the ongoing development

and enhancement of current goods, services, or procedures. Incremental innovation

is crucial in the senior care setting for improving care quality, maximizing operational

effectiveness, and meeting the changing requirements of older persons. Elderly

care places a strong emphasis on enhancing the efficacy and efficiency of care

delivery procedures. This includes simplifying office procedures, improving care

coordination, and lightening the load on caregivers. Automated appointment

scheduling, remote monitoring, and the use of digital health data can all assist to

streamline processes, cut down on mistakes, and enhance care coordination in

general.

To enhance healthcare delivery, incremental innovation incorporates

telemedicine and health monitoring technologies. These can include applications for

remote health management, wearable gadgets for remote vital sign monitoring, and

virtual consultations with medical specialists. These innovations permit fast medical
action, enable early diagnosis of health problems, and increase older individuals' 10

access to healthcare services. (Nigura, 2020)

Disruptive Innovation

In the telehealth and remote monitoring technology and providing care

remotely is a critical part of disruptive innovation in the elderly care sector. This

contributes to the overall citizens to access healthcare services from the comfort of

their homes and obtain quick medical consultations, vital sign monitoring, and

treatment. Reducing the need for in-person visits and enhancing access to

treatment for elderly people in remote or underserved locations are two goals of

disruptive telehealth platforms and wearable technology. The geriatric care involves

the use of virtual reality (VR) and cognitive stimulation technology to boost cognitive

function and increase mental well-being. Applications for virtual reality (VR) can offer

immersive experiences that jog memory, calm anxiety, and lift mood. Interactive

technology is used by cognitive stimulation programs to involve older persons in

mental and brain training activities. These innovative methods boost social inhas the

possibility of transforming aged care by enhancing independence, better results, and

meeting the changing requirements of elderly people. The elderly care industry can

lead transformational changes in care practices by embracing remote monitoring

and telehealth, artificial intelligence and robotics, smart homes and IoT solutions,

virtual reality and cognitive stimulation, co-living and intergenerational communities,


data analytics, and predictive modeling. Interaction, advance social involvement, 11

and increase quality of life in general.

Chapter 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES


This chapter focuses on the review of related literature and studies that were 19

relevant to the present study’s problems in the industry. This comprises of local and

foreign literature and studies which allowed the various perspectives of this research

paper.

Innovative Approaches of Elderly Care

With the fast graying of China’s population, ensuring and improving the

quality of life for Chinese senior people has become an essential concern. With

13.5% of its population or 191 million people aged 65 and over, China, the most

populous country in the world is confronting serious problems in terms of caring for

its old. It is estimated that by 2025, the number of persons over the age of 60 will hit

around 300 million and might approach 400 million by the end of 2035,respectively

accounting for roughly 22% and 30% of the overall population With the rise of

industrialization and urbanization, many young labor force began to relocate across

provinces to pursue work, which led to the younger generation living in separate

regions with their parents. Older parents in China are likely to be “empty nesters”,

which implies they live alone or with their spouses only with one child ( Yang ,

2022 ) Although this unique elderly care solution is in line with China’s social,

cultural, and economic conditions, it is also publicly recognized that the family size in

China has been shrinking since the official start of China’s One-Child Policy in 1980,

which means young generation carry a much heavier burden of family care than
their parents did. Past research in context of senior care issue categorize the 20

responsibilities of the family care service into two categories in terms of the subject

and object of the service, namely the old person receiving care and the younger

person providing care and subsequently define their different caring burden. From

the perspective of the aged care recipients, the family caring burden refers to the

time, money and effort spent on en they are ill, while from the perspective of the

young caregiver, this refers to the psychological experience of stress, worry, anxiety,

distress, etc., associated with providing care services .Most previous studies on

family caregiving have been conducted from the perspective of older people owing

to the fact that it is the basis and foundation of the other perspective , yet we believe

conducting research from care providers’ perspective is also an indispensable part

of the entire field of study, and discovering and satisfying the needs of elderly care

providers can likewise greatly affect the construction and quality of the elderly care

service. In mining and analyzing the huge quantity of material on the web,

academics may acquire a more comprehensive knowledge of the current state of

affairs and scientifically forecast future trends. Text mining generally rely on natural

language processing methods to arrange text for subsequent examination. Natural

language processing (NLP) is the process of helping computers comprehend natural

language, integrating linguistics and artificial intelligence, frequently employing

massive data sets for subject refining and sentiment detection.


In Qian’s work, text mining methods were applied to determine the health 21

information demands of elderly individuals by evaluating text messages posted in

forums. We feel it is extremely practical to utilize text mining approach to examine

the psychological and emotional condition of young generation while caring their

senior parents.

With these status in mind, the introduction and adaptation of innovative

approaches to elderly care in the real estate Innovation means offering something

new or different that generates positive change or provides value. Innovative

techniques may be used to different fields, such as business, technology,

healthcare, education, social services, and more. They generally include a new

viewpoint, out-of-the-box thinking, and a desire to question the existing quo.

Integrating technology into senior care can increase efficiency, safety, and quality of

care. (Shi, 2020 ) This involves the use of remote monitoring devices, wearable

sensors, smart home technology, and telemedicine to provide remote healthcare

monitoring, fall detection, medication management, and social networking. Creating

age-friendly workplaces entails developing physical locations that are accessible,

safe, and comfortable for older people. This includes elements such as non-slip

flooring, handrails, proper lighting, and clear signs to enhance mobility and decrease

the risk of falls. Recent innovations in intelligent technologies for supporting older

people can give elders friendly, mutual, and individualized interactions. As the
intelligent gadgets should consistently offer an essential contribution to the smart 22

senior care business, smart services or policies for the elders are lately given by a

big number of government programs in China. At present, the smart senior care

business in China has drawn numerous investors’ attention, but the smart elderly

care industry in China is still at the starting stage. It is determined that smart elderly

care services suit the elders’ mental desires and that needs for improving

modernization services are the most commonly highlighted opportunities (Li, 2020).

However, the commonly reported problems behind potential include intelligent

goods not being able to address the just-needed, user-consumption idea and the

capacity to pay, which is the most frequently mentioned issue. The results of this

study will assist players in the smart elderly care sector to define the possibilities

and problems faced by smart senior care services in China’s growth process and

give a theoretical framework for improved decision making. (Hong, 2020).

Architectural Innovation

China has become the country with the biggest number of senior people in

the world. According to the latest figures from the National Bureau of Statistics, the

number of senior individuals over the age of 60 in China has been growing in recent

years. In 2013, it topped 200 million, accounting for just 14.9%, and it reached 240.9

million in 2017, shattering the record by 17%. By the end of 2018, the population

aged 60 and older was 249.49 million, accounting for 17.9%. Among them, the
population aged 65 and above was 166.58 million, accounting for 11.9%. The 23

percentage of the senior population has increased since the end of 2017. With the

aging of the population, the state has The smart elderly care industry is a product

under the background of the “supply-side structural reform” and a formula for

correcting the imbalance of China’s senior care industry structure.

Smart health and elderly care refer to the integration of information

technology and products such as health care electronics, Internet of Things, cloud

computing, big data, and mobile Internet for collecting data such as human signs

and home environment; realizing family, community medical institutions, health care

services and information interconnection, and analytical processing between

professional medical institutions; and providing intelligent, personalized, and

diversified products and services to meet the increasingly urgent health needs of the

people (Yang et al., 2016). (Yang et al., 2016).

In the light of architectural innovation Architectural innovation may occur at

numerous dimensions, from individual buildings and structures to complete urban

planning and design concepts. It involves a wide variety of characteristics, including

architectural aesthetics, building processes, materials, energy efficiency, spatial

organization, and technology breakthroughs. Entails the introduction of innovative

and creative design concepts that differ from traditional architectural styles and

norms. It strives to produce visually spectacular, unusual, and memorable


architectural shapes that defy standard concepts of aesthetics. According to Meng 24

2020, China’s smart senior care system is still in its infancy, and many elements are

impacting the development of the smart old-age environment, such as the residents’

requirements and preferences and the quality level of product service providers.

Some of these variables may positively encourage the development of a smart

elderly care industry, while some may become impediments in the growth of the

smart elderly care industry. China’s government has focused more on the growth of

the smart senior care sector as the country’s population ages. Incorporates the

newest technical breakthroughs and digital technologies. This comprises the use of

modern computer-aided design (CAD) tools, Building Information Modeling (BIM),

parametric design, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) to visualize and

improve design processes and allow effective communication. Architectural

innovation focuses on developing environments that enhance the human experience

and well-being. It entails combining user-centric design concepts, fostering

accessibility, comfort, and inclusion, and considers variables like as natural light,

acoustics, thermal comfort, and the link between indoor and outdoor areas, which

become part of the innovative approaches in terms of architectural innovation arena.

Radical Innovation
Radical innovations can lead to the creation of new care models, technology, 25

and techniques that greatly increase the quality of care offered to older individuals.

This may involve the utilization of advanced monitoring systems, tailored treatment

plans, new treatments, and remote care solutions that increase the efficacy,

efficiency, and precision of care delivery. may empower elderly people to keep their

independence and autonomy for longer durations. This may entail the use of smart

home technology, wearable gadgets, and assistive robotics that support activities of

daily life, enable improved mobility, and promote safety. By supporting

independence, older persons can keep their dignity, feeling of control, and quality of

life. The industry has a trend to be unstructured, practical, and intelligent due to the

progressive maturation of technologies like artificial intelligence and big data. For a

while, individuals who are entering talk about "intelligence and old age," while older

people have more technology and vigor. Regarding the smart hardware, the design

and usage of smart gadgets in China has evolved in China’s old-age community.

Considering the existing quo of China’s smart senior care, China is moving from an

agricultural civilization to an electronic society to attain the “modernization” seen in

the Western world (Hu, 2020 ) in elderly care might focus on preventative measures

and early intervention tactics. By combining data analytics, artificial intelligence, and

predictive modeling, healthcare professionals may identify patients at risk of

acquiring specific health disorders and intervene early to prevent or manage them.
This proactive strategy can lead to better health outcomes, less hospitalizations, and 26

increased general well-being. may increase older individuals' access to care and

services, especially in underserved or resource-constrained locations. The

development of China's smart old-age care is still in its infancy; news reporting study

on this topic is inadequate and time-sensitive. (Li, 2020) Telehealth technologies,

smartphone applications, and internet platforms can provide remote consultations,

health monitoring, and prescription administration, ensuring that older persons have

prompt access to healthcare experts and required support regardless of their

location. may concentrate on giving carers support and instruction. Digital tools,

training courses, and online resources that provide caregivers the know-how,

abilities, and support systems required to deliver high-quality care for senior citizens

may fall under this category. Radical innovations improve care results and the

wellbeing of both older individuals and their carers by empowering them. While

radical breakthroughs have the potential to significantly improve aged care, their

successful application necessitates careful consideration of ethical, privacy,

accessibility, and the unique requirements and preferences of older persons. (Titus,

2020).

Incremental Innovation
The study shows that incremental innovation in aged care entails ongoing 27

enhancements and modifications to current procedures, products, and settings. It

includes minor adjustments, adaptations, and improvements made in response to

older individuals' changing requirements and preferences. These small-scale

inventions target certain problems and gaps in aged care, enabling better results,

more effectiveness, and improved user experiences. Personalized care methods,

technology integration, environmental changes, and service improvements are

important areas of incremental innovation in aged care within the real estate sector.

In order to promote autonomy and well-being, personalized care options entail

modifying care plans and services to match the particular requirements of individual

residents. The application of wearable technology, smart home systems, and

telehealth technologies, which enhance monitoring, safety, and access to healthcare

services, is an example of technological integration ( Smith et al, 2019) Furthermore,

in order to build supportive and inclusive workplaces, environmental adaptations

include the adoption of age-friendly design elements, such as non-slip flooring,

suitable lighting, and accessible amenities. To guarantee the delivery of high-quality

treatment and client satisfaction, service innovations comprise ongoing development

in staff training, communication systems, and quality assurance procedures.

Stakeholders may constantly enhance their services, adjust to changing demands,


and give older folks the best possible living environment by adopting incremental 28

innovation.

Moreover, according to Shen , 2022 it is also, a greater understanding of the

crucial role that technical innovation plays in supporting industrial transformation,

upgrading, and altering the economic development mode is necessary for China's

present innovation-driven development plan to be successful. Chinese academics

are particularly interested in China's growth stage and unique institutional

environment since the country is still in an economic transition period and the

market operating mechanism is still in its infancy. ( Li, 2022).

Disruptive Innovation

Elderly care entails the adoption of novel and out-of-the-box strategies that

go against accepted wisdom and cause big changes in the provision of care. By

utilizing cutting-edge technology, fresh business ideas, and alternative care

philosophies, it challenges conventional approaches to the provision of healthcare

and facility design. Technology-driven solutions include robots, virtual reality,

artificial intelligence, and IoT devices to improve care delivery, track health metrics,

and encourage social interaction. Alternative care models include unconventional

methods such co-housing communities, facilities for shared care, and self-directed

care to offer more individualized and adaptable care alternatives The current

business climate is very dynamic and technology focused. As a result, businesses


can't only rely on incremental breakthroughs. Radical innovations will continue to be 29

more significant, especially given the present developments in digitalization (Kraus

et al., 2019).

According to Alberti, 2019 stress that commercialization is one of the most

critical phases and also the less studied area of disruptive innovation By including

aspects of nature, accessibility, and community integration, user-centric design

focuses on developing living spaces and settings that emphasize the preferences,

comfort, and well-being of older persons.. Disruptive innovation has the potential to

transform elder care within the real estate sector. Stakeholders may rethink care

procedures, improve resource allocation, and create life-changing experiences for

senior citizens by embracing disruptive ideas. To be successfully adopted and

scaled up, disruptive technologies in aged care must overcome obstacles including

regulatory frameworks, ethical issues, and implementation impediments. (Cubero,

2020)

For real estate developers, operators, and politicians looking to implement

disruptive innovation in aged care, the study’s findings and examples serve as

inspiration and direction. Disruptive innovations may be used by stakeholders to

promote improvement, improve care outcomes, and affect the future of aged care

within the real estate sector. Unmet or underserved customer needs are frequently

addressed through innovation. Opportunities for disruptive solutions that offer higher
value, cost, convenience, or accessibility compared to present offers may be found 30

through identifying market gaps and comprehending client pain concerns. Requires

a culture that values imagination, curiosity, and the ability to adapt. Disruptive

innovation is more likely to occur in companies that promote an innovative culture,

value employee autonomy, and encourage experimentation.

Artificial intelligence

Throughout the research to market process, data and realistic situations are

increasingly important. To translate academic findings into practical applications in

industry, it's crucial to combine various AI approaches with useful applications.

Moreover, Chinese universities, research facilities, and private businesses

are collaborating closely to perform research relevant to AI and facilitate the

knowledge transfer that results, such as by putting in place cooperation laboratories

and training programs for AI professionals. Studying the intelligence process of

learning from tiny size of samples with low energy cost is one of the main problems

for AI approaches. By making use of gained information, sophisticated technologies

like computer vision, speech processing, and natural language processing may

develop to the next level for functional applications. To make AI technologies more

useful to business, there is a tendency to mix hardware and software. Those trying

to control the future of AI may have another chance with deep learning frameworks

with chips. Application systems are increasingly in need of the fusion of various AI
approaches and useful applications. Business scenarios must be connected with AI 31

application systems (Wang N.D.) AI capabilities have advanced significantly as a

result of the accessibility of more potent and effective computer gear, such as high-

performance CPUs and graphics processing units (GPUs). The ability to execute

complicated algorithms more quickly allows for AI systems to manage enormous

datasets and carry out computationally demanding tasks. Massive volumes of data

have been produced as a result of the internet and the growth of digital technology.

For training, learning, and generating precise predictions, AI systems rely on data.

Big data sets' accessibility enables AI systems to learn from many sources,

enhancing their precision and decision-making skills. AI developments have been

fueled by the creation and improvement of machine learning algorithms. Without

explicit programming, machine learning methods allow AI systems to discover

patterns in data, draw conclusions from it, and make predictions. Deep learning,

reinforcement learning, and neural networks are just a few of the methods that have

dramatically improved AI system performance. From 2016, artificial intelligence has

been a part of China's National Strategic Plan. The government has released a

number of regulations to aid in the advancement of AI, ranging from human

resource development and international collaboration to finance and intellectual

property protection. In addition to placing a strong priority on theoretical research,


these strategies also make the most of available resources to integrate Al into the 32

actual economy ( Wang et. Al 2020)

Furthermore, the accessibility of user-friendly AI frameworks, tools, and

libraries has facilitated the adoption of AI technology by developers and enterprises.

Open-source frameworks for creating AI applications, like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and

scikit-learn, lower entry barriers and promote creativity. High-speed internet access

is widely available, which has made it easier to share and analyse the data needed

for AI applications. The seamless transfer of data between devices, cloud services,

and AI systems is ensured by improved internet infrastructure, enabling real-time

interactions and distant access to AI-powered services. The need for AI-driven

solutions from companies and industries across a variety of industries has

significantly influenced AI research. Businesses are attempting to use AI technology

to increase operational effectiveness, automate procedures, obtain data insights,

boost decision-making, and provide individualized experiences. (Sun, 2020)

And also, it has the potential to transform the real estate sector, particularly

with regard to senior care. Real estate properties may be equipped with AI-powered

smart home devices to give senior citizens a safer and more comfortable living

space. These systems may be voice operated or managed through mobile

applications, and they can automate processes like temperature management,

lighting, and security. In order to increase comfort and independence, AI systems


may learn occupant preferences and modify settings accordingly. AI-powered health 33

monitoring tools may gather and examine vital indications like heart rate, blood

pressure, and sleep patterns to offer insightful data about one’s health. These

gadgets may be included into residential real estate facilities, allowing for constant

monitoring of occupants’ health and wellbeing. Healthcare professionals or

caregivers can be alerted to possible health risks by AI algorithms that can spot

abnormalities, allowing for preventative treatments and remote care management.

Older people who reside in real estate properties can get care and information 24

hours a day from chatbots and virtual assistants powered by AI. These virtual

assistants are able to converse, give amusement, and send reminders for

appointments or medicines. These assistants may learn about and adjust to user

preferences thanks to machine learning and natural language processing

techniques, which enhances engagement and assistance. In order to implement AI

technology in real estate properties for senior care, it is important to solve user

acceptability issues, privacy and security problems, and ethical considerations. Yet

when used appropriately, AI may improve aged care in real estate by giving seniors

individualized support, pro-active monitoring, and a higher quality of life. From 2016,

artificial intelligence has been a part of China’s National Strategic Plan. The

government has released a number of regulations to aid in the advancement of AI,

ranging from human resource development and international collaboration to finance


and intellectual property protection. In addition to placing a strong priority on 34

theoretical research, these strategies also make the most of available resources to

integrate Al into the actual economy.

Virtual Reality

The virtual reality market in China has expanded significantly in recent years.

It has grown to be one of the biggest marketplaces in the world for VR applications

and technology. Seeing the promise of VR for a range of industries, including

entertainment, education, healthcare, fashion, cosmetics, manufacturing, and

tourism, the Chinese government has aggressively backed its development. A

number of variables, including a sizable population, rising disposable income, and

an expanding middle class that is tech-savvy, are driving China's VR business. The

demand for VR equipment, experience, and content has increased as a result.

Elderly persons may virtually tour homes and living spaces thanks to virtual

reality's deep and lifelike experience. Older individuals may make educated

judgments about their living arrangements and determine whether the setting is

appropriate for their requirements by having the capacity to envision and experience

properties before making a physical visit.

According to marketchine.com, VR technology can help elderly persons who

have mobility and physical restrictions. Older individuals may virtually tour several

places without the need for considerable travel by utilizing VR headsets or other
gadgets, saving time and energy. Opportunities for elderly persons who might have 35

trouble with in-person visits or long-distance travel are made possible by virtual

reality. VR can help seniors evaluate the design and security elements of real estate

sites. Via virtual reality (VR) simulations, users can go around the house, see

possible dangers, and gauge how easily accessible important spaces like toilets,

kitchens, and bedrooms are. Making choices regarding whether the property is

appropriate for their particular requirements is made easier as a result. VR can

make it easier for family members and caregivers to participate remotely in and be

included in the real estate decision-making process. Caretakers and family

members may virtually accompany senior citizens on property visits through shared

VR experiences, facilitating collaboration and discussions regarding

appropriateness, design changes, and care issues.

The extent to which VR is successfully implemented in the real estate sector

for aged care depends on a number of variables, including user comfort, content

availability, ease of use, and accessibility to VR technology. A significant influence

on aged care in the real estate sector also depends on tailoring VR experiences to

the unique requirements and preferences of older persons while resolving privacy

and ethical issues.


Augmented Reality 36

According to daxueconsulting.com, 2023, hardware and software may be

separated out of the AR industry. Chip makers, who are at the very top of the value

chain, are among the hardware suppliers. They serve as the foundation for the

production of AR devices. They are in charge of giving makers of AR gadgets CPUs,

sensors, displays, power supply, and other components. The growth of the

smartphone market has accelerated the decrease in cost, size, and performance of

sensors and display devices, creating a strong technological basis for the adoption

of VR/AR goods in China. Qianzhan claims that between 2011 and 2019, the

quantity of AR-related items available on the App Store varied and grew generally. A

total of 4107 AR-related items were available on the App Store in 2019, a 16.4%

reduction from the previous year.

The extent to which VR is successfully implemented in the real estate sector

for aged care depends on a number of variables, including user comfort, content

availability, ease of use, and accessibility to VR technology. A significant influence

on aged care in the real estate sector also depends on tailoring VR experiences to

the unique requirements and preferences of older persons while resolving privacy

and ethical issues.

Age-related physical limits and mobility problems can be solved through

technology. Older individuals may virtually tour and evaluate real estate sites from
the comfort of their own homes by utilizing AR programs on smartphones or tablets. 37

This makes the process more easy and accessible by removing the need for lengthy

travel and in-person meetings. According to daxueconsulting.com, 2023, Hardware

and software may be separated out of the AR industry. Chip makers, who are at the

very top of the value chain, are among the hardware suppliers. They serve as the

foundation for the production of AR devices. They are in charge of giving makers of

AR gadgets CPUs, sensors, displays, power supply, and other components. By

providing professional counsel and virtual cooperation for older persons and their

caretakers. With augmented reality (AR) applications, real estate brokers, carers, or

family members may virtually accompany senior citizens on property visits,

delivering expert help, responding to queries, and providing real-time counseling.

This makes it possible to make decisions in groups and allows for participation and

support from a distance.

Furthermore in this study The breadth and success of augmented reality (AR)

in the real estate sector for aged care depends on a number of variables, including

user acceptability and comfort, usability, content availability, and the integration of

AR into current workflows and procedures. A significant influence on aged care in

the real estate sector also depends on tailoring AR experiences to the unique

requirements and preferences of older persons while resolving privacy and ethical

issues. (Lux, 2020)


Internet of Things 38

In the study of Hauk et al, 2020, He clarified their chosen technology adoption

strategy. In combination with company adoption models, researchers looked into

consumer adoption models, and vice versa. An essential component of the Internet

of Things is the availability of reliable connection infrastructure, such as wireless

networks and high-speed internet. The smooth communication and data sharing

between IoT systems and devices is made possible by reliable and widespread

connection, creating a network of interconnected items. The linked gadgets and

sensors that make up the IoT produce enormous amounts of data. The capacity to

gather, handle, and analyze this data is essential for gaining insightful knowledge,

making wise choices, and advancing automation. Technologies like big data

analytics, cloud computing, and edge computing are essential for managing and

gleaning useful knowledge from IoT data. IoT system and data security and privacy

are crucial factors. To ensure the trustworthiness, dependability, and integrity of IoT

installations, it is crucial to protect IoT devices, networks, and data against

cyberthreats, unauthorized access, and data breaches. To protect IoT ecosystems,

it is essential to include robust security controls, encryption, authentication

protocols, and privacy frameworks.

The use and implementation of IoT technologies are influenced by legal and

ethical frameworks. Setting standards, guaranteeing compliance, and addressing


concerns like data privacy, security, and responsible data usage in IoT applications 39

are all responsibilities of governments and regulatory organizations.

These elements work together to form the environment and promise of the

Internet of Things, fueling its development and influence across a range of

industries, including manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and smart cities. The

potential and advantages of the IoT will continue to grow as a result of ongoing

improvements in technology, connectivity, standards, and security.

Synthesis

The development and use of new aged care strategies within the real estate

sector are shaped by a number of variables. The real estate sector is seeing a huge

need for creative aged care solutions, which is mostly driven by the aging population

and shifting demographics. There are chances for novel techniques to fulfill the

specific demands of the expanding population of older individuals who are looking

for high-quality care and adequate living conditions. Innovations in aged care are

built on the back of technological developments like AI, IoT, VR, and AR. These

innovations revolutionize the way that care is given to and experienced by older

people by enabling tailored care, remote monitoring, safety improvements, and

immersive experiences.

The need for cutting-edge aged care solutions is shaped by the tastes and

expectations of older persons and their families. More individualized, interesting,


and independent living opportunities are desired by older persons. Marketing 40

campaigns should reflect these preferences and emphasize how cutting-edge

methods satisfy consumers' needs for a better quality of life. The development and

use of innovative elderly care strategies is influenced by the regulatory framework

and the political landscape. For marketing initiatives to build credibility and

confidence among stakeholders, such as residents, families, and regulatory

agencies, compliance with laws and industry standards are essential. Innovative

elderly care methods are implemented and marketed based on their economic

feasibility. It's important to show how these strategies are financially advantageous

over the long run and cost-effective in order to draw in investors, property

developers, and people looking for care services.

These contributing variables must be taken into account when creating a

marketing program for novel aged care techniques in the real estate sector.

Marketing programs can effectively convey the advantages and value proposition of

novel approaches to elderly care by addressing the specific needs and preferences

of older adults, showcasing technological developments, emphasizing regulatory

compliance, encouraging collaboration, and highlighting economic viability and

cultural relevance.

Validation/ Reliability of the Instrument

For the validation and reliability of the instrument, it was approved by the
three experts in the Real Estate Industry and two academicians, based on 47

alignment, accuracy, objectivity, and cohesiveness. To determine the validation

and reliability of the instrument, the questionnaire was subjected to a dry run with

20 people for pilot testing. The statistical tool used was SPSS (Statistical

Packages for Social Science), which will uplift the reliability of the study.

Cronbach’s alpha (α) was determined to measure the reliability or

consistency of the instrument used in the study. The alpha coefficient (α = 0.939,

SD = 16.815). The high value for all items suggests that the items have relatively

high internal consistency. The reliability coefficient of 0.70 or higher was

considered “acceptable” in most research studies. A generally accepted rule was

that α =0.60 - 0.70 indicates an acceptable level of reliability, and α= 0.8 or

greater was a very good level.

Moreover, Chinese universities, research facilities, and private businesses

are collaborating closely to perform research relevant to AI and facilitate the

knowledge transfer that results, such as by putting in place cooperation laboratories

and training programs for AI professionals. Studying the intelligence process of

learning from tiny size of samples with low energy cost is one of the main problems

for AI approaches. By making use of gained information, sophisticated technologies

like computer vision, speech processing, and natural language processing may
develop to the next level for functional applications. To make AI technologies more 71

useful to business, there is a tendency to mix hardware and software. Those trying

to control the future of AI may have another chance with deep learning frameworks

with chips. Application systems are increasingly in need of the fusion of various AI

approaches and useful applications. Business scenarios must be connected with AI

application systems (Wang N.D.) AI capabilities have advanced significantly as a

result of the accessibility of more potent and effective computer gear, such as high-

performance CPUs and graphics processing units (GPUs). The ability to execute

complicated algorithms more quickly allows for AI systems to manage enormous
