Smart homes and wearable devices provide data support for independent living so that families and caregivers can make necessary interventions in a timely manner.
Nowadays, an increasing number of countries around the world are approaching an aging population. From Japan to the United States to China, countries around the world need to find ways to serve more elderly people than ever before. Sanatoriums are becoming increasingly crowded and there is a shortage of professional nursing staff, posing significant problems for people in terms of where and how to provide for their elderly. The future of home care and independent living may lie in another option: artificial intelligence.
ZuoweiTech's CEO and co-founder of Technology, Sun Weihong said, "The future of healthcare lies in the home and will become increasingly intelligent".
ZuoweiTech focused on intelligent care products and platforms, on May 22, 2023, Mr. Sun Weihong, CEO of ZuoweiTech visited the "Maker Pioneer" column of Shenzhen Radio Pioneer 898, where they exchanged and interacted with the audience on topics such as the current situation of disabled elderly people, nursing difficulties, and intelligent care.
Mr. Sun combines the current situation of disabled elderly people in China and introduced to the audience in detail ZuoweiTech's intelligent nursing product.
ZuoweiTech benefits elderly care through intelligent care, we have developed various intelligent care and rehabilitation assistive products around the six major needs of disabled people: incontinence, bath, getting up and down from bed, walking, eating, and dressing. Such as intelligent incontinence nursing robots, portable intelligent bed showers, intelligent walking robots, multi-functional displacement machines, and intelligent alarm diapers. We have preliminarily constructed a closed-loop ecological chain for the care of disabled people.
One of the biggest obstacles to bringing artificial intelligence technology into homes is the installation of new devices. But as more and more safety and home appliance companies are likely to expand their market to health or care functions, this technology can be embedded into existing products in households. Home safety systems and smart appliances have widely entered homes, and using them for care will become a future trend.
In addition to serving as a good helper for nursing staff, artificial intelligence can also maintain a person's dignity based on their level of care. For example, intelligent nursing robots can automatically clean and care for the urine and urine of bedridden elderly people; Portable shower machines can help bedridden elderly people take baths in bed, avoiding the need for caregivers to carry them; Walking robots can prevent elderly people with limited mobility from falling and auxiliary disabled elderly people to engage in some autonomous activities; Motion sensors can detect whether unexpected falls have occurred, and so on. Through these monitoring data, family members and nursing institutions can grasp the status of the elderly in real-time, so as to provide timely assistance when necessary, greatly improving the quality of life and sense of dignity of the elderly.
Although artificial intelligence can assist in care, it does not mean that it will replace humans. Artificial intelligence nursing is not a robot. Most of it is software services and not intended to replace human caregivers, "Mr. Sun said.
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley say that if the physical and mental health of caregivers can be maintained, the average lifespan of the people they care for will be extended by 14 months. Nursing staff may experience unhealthy stress due to attempting to remember complex nursing plans, engaging in physical labor, and insomnia.
AI nursing makes nursing more efficient by providing more complete information and notifying caregivers when needed. You don't need to worry and listen to the creaking of the house all night. Being able to sleep has a huge impact on people's health.
