In our lives, there are such a class of elderly people, their hands often shake,more severe shaking when they hands keep hold. they do not move, not only can not carry out simple daily operations, even three meals a day can not take care of themselves. Such elderly people are Parkinson's patients.
At present, there are more than 3 million patients with Parkinson's disease in China.Among them, the prevalence rate is 1.7% in people over 65 years of age, and the number of people with the disease is expected to reach 5 million by 2030, accounting for almost half of the global total. Parkinson's disease has become a common disease in the middle and old people other than tumor and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Elderly people with Parkinson's disease need a caregiver or family member to take time out to care for them and feed them. Eating is the basis of a person's life,However, for the elderly Parkinson's who can not eat normally, it is a very undignified thing to eat and need to be fed by family members, and they are sober, but they can not eat independently, which is very difficult for them.
In this case, coupled with the impact of the disease, it is difficult for the elderly toavoid depression, anxiety and other symptoms. If you let it go, the consequences are serious, the light will refuse to take medicine, do not cooperate with treatment, and the heavy will have the feeling of dragging down family members and children,and even have the idea of suicide.
The other is the feeding robot that we launched in Shenzhen ZuoWei technology. The innovative use of feeding robots can intelligently capture changes in the mouth through AI face recognition, know the user who needs to feed, and scientifically and effectively hold food to prevent food from spilling; You can also accurately find the position of the mouth, according to the size of the mouth, humanized feeding, adjust the horizontal position of the spoon, will not hurt the mouth; Not only that, but the voice function can accurately identify the food that the elderly want to eat. When the old man is full, he just needs to close his
mouth or nod according to the prompt, and it will automatically fold its arms and stop feeding.
The advent of feeding robots has brought the Gospel to countless families and injected new vitality into the cause of elderly care in our country.Because through AI face recognition operation, the feeding robot can liberate the hands of the family, so that the elderly and their companions or family members sit around the table, eat and enjoy together, not only makes the elderly happy, but also is more conducive to the rehabilitation of the elderly's physical function, and truly alleviates the realistic dilemma of "one person is disabled and the whole family is out of balance".
In addition, the operation of the feeding robot is simple, even for beginners to learn only half an hour to master. There is no high threshold for use, and it is applicable to a wide range of groups, whether in nursing homes, hospitals or families, it can help nursing staff and their families to improve work efficiency and quality, so that more families can feel at ease and relieved.
Integrating technology into our lives can bring us convenience. And such convenience not only serves ordinary people, those who have a lot of inconvenience, especially the elderly, the need for these technologies is more urgent, because technology such as feeding robots can not only improve their quality of life, but also let them regain confidence and return to the normal track of life.
