Fall-detection systems, rehabilitation devices, and wheelchair-accessible vehicles
are among the products showcased at the 20th China (Chongqing) Senior Industry Expo,
which opened on November 6 and highlights technologies and services designed to 
help older adults live more independently.

Running through November 8 at the Chongqing International Expo Center, the event
covers 40,000 square meters and has attracted businesses and institutions from eight
countries, including Japan, Germany, France and the United States.

The event offers a window into China’s "silver economy" — products and services 
designed for older people — with offerings extending beyond medical care to travel,
cultural activities, financial services and home adaptations.

A central focus is putting artificial intelligence and other technologies to practical
use in elder care. Visitors can explore vital-sign monitoring systems, try smart
walking aids and learn about home adaptations intended to make everyday activities
easier.

Digital tools also support care providers. One care-home management platform integrates
data on occupancy, meals, care and security. An accessible electric vehicle with
a lifting seat and wheelchair lift offers transport for people with limited mobility.

International exhibitors include Japanese companies Paramount Bed, Analog & Digital
and Omron Healthcare. Other displays feature products and services from South Korea,
Thailand and Kenya, connecting overseas offerings with China’s elder-care market.

Alongside these commercial opportunities, the expo addresses how services can reach
rural communities with limited provision and scattered resources.

One example comes from Chongqing’s Dianjiang County, where publicly built elder-
care facilities operated through private chain management increased bed occupancy
from 34.2% to 81.2%, according to an October 2026 release by the county government.
Rural mutual-aid care is also among the exhibition’s dedicated themes.

Cooperation is another priority. Elder-care travel industry associations from 20
provincial-level regions signed an agreement to share resources across regional 
boundaries.

The four exhibition halls also emphasize older adults’ interests as consumers and
participants in community life. Workshops include smartphone filming, video editing
and drone photography, alongside traditional crafts, fitness activities and performances.

Free medical consultations, fraud-prevention sessions and assistance with applications
for Chongqing’s digital senior-services card bring practical support into the exhibition
halls.

By combining business exchanges with hands-on experiences, the event links product
development with everyday needs, from safer mobility and accessible care to opportunities
for learning, travel and social participation.
