He earnestly hoped that through this conference, the research progress and strategic application of geriatric health management could be exchanged and discussed, pooling wisdom, drawing on the strengths of others, and working together. We should effectively enhance the risk assessment and management capabilities for elderly health and accelerate the cultivation of compound health management professionals.

The conference experts delivered four keynote speeches: Sheng Ying, the executive director of the Institute of Integrated Development of Geriatric Health at Shanghai University School of Medicine, introduced the application of artificial intelligence in the health management of the elderly. Based on the current health status of the elderly and the background of multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional management, digital means should be utilized to achieve scientific, hierarchical and personalized health management targeting the population and featuring dual-scenario interaction, so as to achieve the "three prevention" goals. Dr. Ye Chenjing, a member of the Health Management Branch of the Chinese Geriatrics Society and the director of Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, took the successful treatment of elderly lymphoma patients with CART therapy as the starting point and introduced that through the full-process management of CAR-T cell therapy, combined with the multi-disciplinary collaboration and standardized monitoring of the International Medical Department of Ruijin Hospital, the full-process closed-loop management of elderly cancer patients can be achieved. Zheng Jiaoyang, a standing committee member of the Health Management Branch of the Chinese Geriatrics Society and director of the Health Management Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, introduced and shared the bone health management of elderly men, emphasizing that due to the "two lows and two highs", elderly men should focus on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in men.
