Kaohsiung's Hunei Digital Opportunity Center (DOC) has joined hands with the Gongguan community to launch the "Cloud Health Scale." Every day, it helps community seniors measure their blood pressure and heart rate, enabling them to provide more complete health information during medical visits and creating a more thoughtful digital health safety net for local seniors.

The Gongguan community has long organized care and health promotion activities for the elderly. When seniors check in daily, basic health monitoring such as blood pressure and heart rate measurements are conducted. In the past, these were mostly recorded on paper or in personal notebooks, which made them difficult to preserve and hard to organize and analyze over the long term. The Hunei Digital Opportunity Center (DOC) in Hunei District, Kaohsiung City, partnered with the Gongguan community to import seniors' daily health records into the "Cloud Health Scale," allowing measurement data to be accessible anytime and shared with family members simultaneously.

Ye Mingcang, principal of Hunei Junior High School, stated that frontline elder care work in the community is vital. Through daily health monitoring, changes in seniors' physical conditions can be detected early, while importing records into the cloud health scale further strengthens the recording and application value of health data. If doctors can reference the daily measurement data of seniors during consultations, it will better help them assess physical health and provide appropriate treatment, ultimately enhancing the quality of senior care.

In the future, the Hunei Digital Opportunity Center will gradually promote this digital healthcare model to more community centers across Hunei District. By combining digital tools with local caring forces, they aim to weave a more comprehensive community health safety net together, making technology a crucial driving force in safeguarding senior health.
