In this paper we propose a new concept in the health management of elder people, which we name as "participant". We propose the "participant" concept to encourage elder people to participate in those group activities that they are able to. Their roles in these activities are not passively requesting help, but actively participating to some healthcare processes. Characteristics of the participant approach are that medical resources are efficiently spared with this model, and the social network of the elder people is kept. A "virtual community" for mutual assistance is set up in this paper, and the simulations demonstrate that the "participant" model could fully utilize the community resources. Furthermore, the psychological health of the elder people will be improved.
