In Shanghai's Changning Hongqiao Sub-district community as an old service center, cooking machines developed by artificial intelligence have been loved by the elderly. The mobile dining car equipped with cooking robots can provide 500-800 meals per day through cold chain distribution and on-site cooking in the dining car. Eight major cuisines have also been developed into programs to be embedded in machines to meet the dining needs of the elderly.

In the face of aging, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Changning District, Shanghai is creating an application scenario for smart elderly care. According to a report from China News Agency, Hongqiao Street has put two mobile dining trucks like this one in the east and west areas of Hongqiao in response to the dinning needs of the elderly who "eat on the shelf".

Shanghai is one of the first cities in the country to enter the ageing population. Statistics show that as of the end of 2019, there were 5,181,200 elderly residents aged 60 years and over in Shanghai, accounting for 35.2% of the total registered population; 819,800 elderly residents aged 80 years and above, accounting for 15.8% of the total elderly population.

As my country's aging process continues to deepen, old-age care has become one of the increasingly important social issues. The emergence of smart devices on the one hand facilitates the lives of the elderly, on the other hand, it is also helping community elderly care management to become intelligent. The smart elderly care scene is being implemented in Shanghai step by step.

In addition to mobile dining trucks, downtown Shanghai is actively developing community brains to provide accurate real-time protection for the elderly at home. Putuo District installed the "Smart Connected Putuo Home Safety Smart Set" for elderly families living alone in the community, with 2399 alarms throughout the year and 553 manual on-site disposal, with a disposal completion rate of 100%; Hongkou District built a smart elderly care "cloud network terminal", integrated command and dispatch 12 major sectors, including center, data center, and health cloud, provide intelligent services for the elderly.

In April of this year, Hongkou District also opened the "Quyang Life e-Diantong" online service platform, which covers eight categories including community canteens, easy-to-go, furniture repairs, cultural and entertainment activities, medical and nursing care, home travel, agency errands, and convenience services. Function. Residents can enter the "Flagship Store on Quyang Road Street" through the "Citizen Cloud" APP, and then they can choose the services they need.

In response to the problems of the large number of left-behind elderly, the large area and sparse population, and the weak caregiving capacity, Shanghai's suburban rural areas have launched a smart home care service project to provide the elderly with round-the-clock assistance through information technology. For example, Fengxian District promotes the smart home care project, with the help of "smart watches" to enable the elderly to obtain services such as home life monitoring, emergency assistance, positioning, and health management.

At the same time, according to the Morning News report in April last year, Shanghai will also build the "Intelligent Valley" of elderly care service robots in Pudong Zhangjiang area, strengthen project investment and policy services, incubate top domestic medical service robot companies, and cultivate a cluster of elderly-related robot industry chains. Ecological Area.

In fact, in order to accelerate the improvement of Shanghai's elderly care service capabilities, in April last year, the "Shanghai Smart Elderly Care Application Scenario Demand List (2020 Edition)" was released.

Starting from the application scenarios, the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau sorted out the first batch of 12 smart elderly application scenarios based on the needs of the elderly, elderly care service organizations, and neighborhood communities, covering safety protection, care services, health services, emotional care, etc. Four categories.

In the list, specific application scenarios include fall prevention scenarios for the elderly, emergency rescue scenarios for the elderly, loss prevention scenarios for the cognitively impaired elderly, medication scenarios for elderly chronic diseases, and bed-ridden care scenarios for the elderly. These smart elderly care application scenarios are gradually being implemented in various districts of Shanghai.

During the National Two Sessions this year, Li Yanhong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Chairman and CEO of Baidu, also suggested that relevant departments strengthen policy guidance, encourage more smart devices to enter the community, and expand and deepen smart elderly care services.

For example, accelerate the realization of the intelligentization of medical services and health management equipment related to the elderly, and help the elderly collect and track health and medical data through smart speakers, wearable devices and other smart devices, so as to better manage their health.

In addition, it is necessary to guide companies to expand the supply of smart devices suitable for aging, and to fully popularize artificial intelligence assistants that take voice as the core and combine multi-mode interactions such as eye contact and gestures, and install them in the devices commonly used by the elderly, so that the elderly can enjoy their daily lives. Every scene can enjoy the convenience brought by technological development. Relying on artificial intelligence products and technologies, select communities with more elderly people and higher escort needs to conduct smart elderly care pilots in cities where conditions permit.

"With the rapid integration of the community emergency system, the elderly care system, and smart + health, security, and nursing technology, smart technology is becoming the operational guarantee of the elderly community." Tian Feng, director of the Shangtang Intelligent Industry Research Institute, wrote an article that the construction of elderly care communities It has become the "new infrastructure" of an aging society, and integration of intelligence and community services has gradually become a trend.

He believes that in the next ten years, the dual upgrade of community humanities, science and technology represented by 5G, AIoT, and AR will promote the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of my country's aging cause. The smart elderly care community full of temperature will become an infrastructure that benefits the people for the happy lives of hundreds of millions of elderly people.
