Improving the quality of pension services: Development and evaluation of a JAVA-based smart nursing home management system

With society’s evolution and the aging population’s growth, nursing home service quality is a key concern. To enhance management and service in these institutions, this study developed a Java-based smart nursing home management system. It merges advanced IT with eldercare needs, offering a comprehensive, efficient, and user-friendly tool for nursing homes. This system outperforms existing domestic and international counterparts, featuring an object-oriented design with Java and MySQL, and offering a range of functionalities like elder info management, bed allocation, user management, record-keeping, and fee handling. It prioritizes user experience with an intuitive interface and streamlined operations. Most notably, the system’s AI assistant module, a unique feature, offers voice recognition, natural language processing, and health monitoring, enhancing service efficiency and the interaction between residents and staff. This innovation significantly elevates nursing home service quality and management efficiency, meeting basic needs while improving the elderly’s quality of life through intelligent services, making it a valuable and promising solution in nursing home management.
