In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, human society is moving towards the era of intelligence at an unprecedented speed. In this era, cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things are like a surging flood, deeply penetrating various aspects of social life, among which smart elderly care is one of them. Smart elderly care is a new type of elderly care, which not only provides new ideas for the huge number of elderly people in China, but also brings new vitality to the social elderly care industry. The article first introduced the background and importance of smart elderly care, emphasizing it as a new way to solve the problem of population aging. Subsequently, relevant literature was reviewed, and the limitations of existing research were analyzed. Then, the application methods of the integrated elderly care model and decision tree algorithm were introduced in detail, including the steps of data collection and preprocessing, feature selection, and model construction. Finally, the effectiveness of the decision tree model in the selection of smart elderly care models was verified through experiments (younger participants (such as 68 and 69 years old) chose smart elderly care models more often when their health was good), and the results were discussed.
