CCTV News: The "Special Action Plan to Boost Consumption" issued a few days ago has made clear provisions on optimizing elderly care services and stimulating the vitality of the silver economy. Faced with the diversified and high-level needs of the elderly group, how to optimize elderly care services, many places are actively exploring new models and new scenarios to innovate and create high-quality elderly care services samples that transform from "oldering" to "enjoying old age".
In Yangjing Street, Pudong New District, Shanghai, there is a memory cafe. Most of the clerks here are elderly people over 70 years old, some of whom suffer from mild cognitive impairment. With the help of volunteers, they are not only able to provide coffee services to customers, but also exercise their brain and social abilities through practice.
Clerk Ding Cuiying said: "We have strengthened contact with the society, our horizons have expanded, and we feel that the old has the style of old."
Optimize the supply of elderly care services and let the "silver-haired people" learn something. In the "Yinfa e-school" in Yangpu District, Shanghai, the course covers multiple topics such as humanistic leisure, life and health. The elderly not only learn new knowledge and new skills, but also make like-minded friends, and their lives in their later years have become more fulfilling and meaningful.
Elderly student Wang Ying said: "I don't want to do nothing, learn something I like, such as tea art, and I also come into contact with different people. The environment is good and I am very happy."
Wang Huan, deputy director of the Ministry of Community Education of Shanghai Open University, said: "In class, they learned some consumption methods such as one-click taxi, online shopping, and online medical treatment, which is also a help to the silver economy."
Technology empowers and smart elderly care, making the elderly's life healthier and more quality. Aunt Yue, 63, lives in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Her knee joints are not good all year round. With this exoskeleton walker weighing less than 2 kilograms, lifting her legs is more labor-saving, and climbing and walking are much easier than before.
This newly launched exoskeleton walker can help the elderly with a certain degree of muscle strength to travel on a daily basis. The R&D personnel use sensor data collection and intelligent algorithms to accurately match the different gaits of people of different ages to meet different terrain. After wearing, they can greatly improve leg strength and save about 30% of their effort than usual.
In addition, Zhejiang is actively building a door-to-door happy elderly care model of "home + community institutions + smart elderly care", and the smart management system is gradually being promoted from medical scenarios to communities and families; Changzhou, Jiangsu vigorously promotes the "renewal" action for home-friendly transformation, and "increase" the types of products and subsidies for aging, further activates the consumption potential of "silver hair" and continuously improves the home environment of the elderly.
AI voice assistant, intelligent fall detection, humanoid care robot... Nowadays, with the continuous advancement of technology, smart elderly care scenarios with full "technology" are being implemented at an accelerated pace. These new scenarios and new business formats have also driven the planning and layout of related industries in the elderly care field.
