Core Tip	Diabetes affects nearly a quarter of individuals aged 65 years and older worldwide, with China reporting the highest number of cases. The unique features of elderly diabetes patients underscore the need for improved management. Digital health technologies have facilitated the establishment of smart hospital wards for diabetes patients. However, there is limited research and review focusing on smart wards tailored for older diabetes patients. This review discusses the development of smart wards, addressing the issues specific to managing elderly diabetic patients, and suggests future research directions to enhance the care of elderly diabetes patients.
