WEIFANG, China - Charging elderly clients just 1 yuan or about 15 cents a day, little-known Lanchuang Network Technology Corp has embarked on one of the most ambitious undertakings in aged care by a private sector firm in China.

Launched just four months ago, Lanchuang’s smart care system has already signed up 220,000 elderly clients in 16 cities, half of which are in Shandong, a rapidly aging province in eastern China where the company is based. “Scattered on the ground are pearls,” Li, 47, said of the products and services available, adding it was his company’s aim to string them together.

“If only I had been able to reach a doctor to help my mother, but doctors are not reachable 24 hours a day,” said Liu, who only gave her surname. The central government provided almost 22 million yuan in subsidies for Lanchuang’s smart platform and the Shandong provincial government has given 3 million yuan.
