A new assistant for nursing home health management - intelligent moxibustion robot

Under the aging society, the demand for old-age care and health is upgrading

China's population aged 60 or above has reached 280 million, accounting for 19.8 percent of the total population, and more than 75 percent of the elderly suffer from one or more chronic diseases, with hypertension, diabetes and bone and joint diseases becoming major health threats, according to the Statistical communique on the Development of China's health Industry in 2022 issued by the National Health Commission.

In elderly care institutions, the health management needs of the elderly have shifted from "basic care" to "precise intervention". According to the data, more than 50% of the elderly have sleep disorders, and more than 70% need long-term chronic care. However, the traditional manual physiotherapy services are limited by the shortage of nursing staff and the low degree of operation standardization, which has been difficult to meet the needs of the elderly for large-scale and personalized.

AI intelligent physiotherapy robot access: safe, efficient and humane

AI intelligent physiotherapy robots, as a new type of intelligent care robots and health detection AIDS, have now been large-scale access to domestic community service points, elderly care institutions, etc., providing a strong guarantee for smart elderly care.

What is AI intelligent physiotherapy robot?

AI intelligent physiotherapy robot is a new type of medical equipment with artificial intelligence as the core, integrating the Internet of Things, biosensing, big data analysis and other technologies. By accessing image sensing technology and big data algorithm model, some intelligent physiotherapy robots can simulate traditional physiotherapy techniques (such as moxibustion, massage, hot compress, etc.), and complete the full treatment experience of diagnosis, positioning, operation and effect evaluation for customers.

Taking intelligent moxibustion robot as an example, compared with traditional physiotherapy moxibustion, its core breakthrough point is safety and precision:

• Safe constant temperature system: The equipment is equipped with two infrared temperature sensors to monitor the surface temperature of moxibustion in real time. When the surface temperature is greater than 50℃, the mechanical arm will automatically lift and stop working; When the surface temperature is >55℃, the mechanical arm will automatically power off and stop working

• Emergency brake protection function: When the distance sensor feels that the user is less than 10mm away from the moxibustion head, the moxibustion head will automatically raise and pop-up window warning will appear

• Personalized program: The moxibustion robot system has 8 kinds of moxibustion programs, which users can directly choose according to their own needs

The double breakthrough of chronic disease management and sleep improvement

At present, well-known elderly care institutions such as Beijing Taikang Yanyuan, Shanghai Qinheyuan and Hangzhou Suiyuan Jiashu have introduced intelligent moxibustion robots. Among them, a pension community in Hangzhou conducted a six-month follow-up of 86 middle-aged and elderly users, and found that the chronic pain of users was greatly relieved, and the frequency of using labor pain drugs was 37% less than before; In addition, many users reported that after long-term use of moxibustion physiotherapy, the time to fall asleep was significantly shorter than before use, and the overall mental state of middle-aged and elderly users was also much higher than before.

With the deep integration of 5G remote control, traditional Chinese medicine knowledge database and other technologies, in the future, AI intelligent physiotherapy equipment such as moxibustion robots will become the core infrastructure of elderly care health services.
