Research on Service Aggregation Driving Mechanism of “Virtual Nursing Home” Based on Evolutionary Game

Abstract

In response to the problem of seriously increasing aging population, a new mode called “virtual nursing home” was proposed which relies on new information technology. Although the mode is an ideal means to realize the aggregation of elderly care services, it is faced with such practical problems as the low willings to participate, which makes it difficult to realize the synergy effect. The aim of this paper is thus to realize the “virtual nursing home service aggregation”, we set up three main bodies (service providers, platform model, government) in a numerical MATLAB simulation and studied the effect on service aggregation. Results demonstrate that the government, as an exogenous variable of the service aggregation system, has a great impact on the system due to its supervision probability, government reward and government penalty. Finally, from the perspective of government inspection probability, government incentive and punishment, some suggestions are put forward for the service aggregation of “virtual nursing home”.
