Opening Ceremony of (Guangzhou) EldExpo

AI vital sign detection protects you anytime, anywhere

At this point, I found that the display of elderly care products was dazzling and overwhelming, with the most interesting thing being the equipment used to detect falls through radar, "said Li Shu, 71, from Southern Medical University, after listening to various elderly care products introduced by exhibitors at the exhibition.

The radar equipment mentioned by Uncle Li to detect elderly people falling is the AI vital sign detector from Qinglan Technology, which is not as large as the size of the palm of the hand. Two detectors are installed in the booth sample room, one mounted on the roof and the other on the side wall. Once someone is found lying on the ground, the detector will sound an alarm. This product has been put into use in some elderly care institutions in Guangdong, Fujian, and other places.

According to Cao Chengyong, the sales director of the company, the detector uses millimeter wave radar technology to detect height differences and other methods to determine whether an elderly person has fallen. A detector can identify three elderly people within a 24 square meter range. Once it is detected that the elderly person has fallen, the alarm will immediately sound and notify the elderly care institution personnel and their emergency contacts. In addition, the detector does not require any equipment to be worn on the body, and can monitor various types of data such as sleep quality, respiration, heart rate, etc. of an elderly person, providing 24-hour protection for the elderly.

At the Guangzhou Elderly Expo, AI dynamic analysis health platform, AI intelligent care system, sleep radar, disability and prevention robot, cognitive disease prevention and intervention robot, dynamic electrocardiogram recorder, medication safety bag, spatial human body induction radar, intelligent camera, etc. were also displayed. These technological elderly care products attracted the attending audience to consult and experience.

Home health care services to achieve nearby care

At present, home and community elderly care are still the mainstream elderly care methods in China. In this context, many enterprises have noticed the increasing demand for personalized health care services for the elderly population, and have implemented a series of elderly care service plans, aiming to provide comprehensive and convenient nearby elderly care services for the elderly.

My favorite is the service and nursing station that provides home health care, which is very close to my home and located on Renmin Middle Road. Unfortunately, I cannot use medical insurance, "said Aunt Lu, 70, from Yuexiu District, after experiencing the knee joint care services provided by a certain company's nursing station. She stated that in recent years, due to inconvenience in her legs and feet, she has attached great importance to the maintenance of her knee joints. It is reported that the nursing station can make appointments through a mini program to provide home health services for nearby residents. At present, the company has set up home health and wellness service nursing stations in Yuexiu, Tianhe, Haizhu, Liwan, and Baiyun districts.

Regarding Aunt Lu's difficulty in using medical insurance for payment, on-site staff also provided a solution. "After completing home care services, if users feel that the experience is good, they can apply for long-term care insurance (referred to as long-term care insurance) to achieve partial payment of service fees.

The Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau has set up a Guangzhou Elderly Care Booth at the Guangzhou Elderly Care Expo, showcasing the intelligent supervision system of the Guangzhou Elderly Care Comprehensive Information Management Platform

Nowadays, home-based elderly care is still the preferred way for most elderly people. In addition to enterprises and institutions, the Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau has also made many innovations and measures to meet their living and personalized needs. At the Guangzhou Elderly Expo, the Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau demonstrated for the first time the intelligent supervision system of the Guangzhou Elderly Service Comprehensive Information Management Platform. Relying on this old platform, it is possible to supervise and manage the entire process of home-based elderly care services in the city, including accepting complaints and suggestions from various home-based elderly care services, timely tracking abnormal service orders, such as real-time monitoring of meal assistance and catering services, Ping An Tong services, as well as assessment of elderly care needs and service institutions, Implement a closed-loop management model of "online application, approval and review, service supervision, real-time recording, and funding settlement" as the old service management model.

Travel products are more convenient for the elderly to go out without any obstacles

In addition to nearby care, finding a suitable travel tool is also another goal for Aunt Lu when she comes to the Expo. At the exhibition, there were a wide variety of products for elderly travel. After strolling around, Aunt Lu experienced a foldable electric scooter designed and produced independently in Shenzhen on site. The car has a compact appearance and a range of 24 kilometers. After experiencing it, Aunt Lu stated that the speed is not fast (with a maximum speed of 6.4 kilometers per hour), and the driving is very smooth, which can prevent elderly people from slipping due to bumps during cycling. The design is very thoughtful.

At this year's Expo, reporters discovered an "electric separation bed" that can transform from a bed to a wheelchair, which can meet the displacement needs of long-term bedridden elderly people from bed to wheelchair. The reporter personally experienced and found that with just a simple operation of the electric button, this separation bed can move from 1 meter × The 1.9 meter regular bed is transformed into an electric wheelchair with a width of 50 centimeters, during which users do not need to adjust their position or move.

Through this platform, effective docking between upstream and downstream partners in the industry and between supply and demand can be achieved.
