With the intensification of population aging and the iteration of digital technology, the demand for elderly community health services has become diversified, and the integration of sports and medicine has become a key path to improve the health level of the elderly. Hebei Province has abundant resources of characteristic folk sports, which combine fitness functions with cultural attributes, providing a unique practical carrier for the integration of sports and medicine in elderly communities. This study takes the digital age as the background and comprehensively uses literature research, field research, and case analysis methods to systematically sort out the current development status and existing problems of the integration of sports and medicine in elderly communities in Hebei Province. It deeply analyzes the empowering mechanism of digital technology for the integration of characteristic folk sports into sports and medicine integration, and then constructs three major application models: "online and offline combined folk sports teaching model", "personalized folk sports prescription model", and "community folk sports cultural activities and sports and medicine service collaboration model". Research has shown that characteristic folk sports in Hebei Province can effectively adapt to the health needs and exercise preferences of the elderly population. With the support of digital technology, it can significantly improve the accuracy and participation enthusiasm of elderly community sports and medical integration services. This not only provides reference for the sustainable application of this model in Hebei Province, but also provides reference for other regions to explore the integration path of folk sports and elderly health services.
