Smart Elder Care Moxibustion Robots Upgrade Community Services

With China's aging population intensifying, traditional elderly care services face challenges such as labor shortages and inconsistent service quality. Against this backdrop, intelligent moxibustion robots are gradually entering community service centers, offering innovative solutions for elderly health management. Recent national policies, including the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Aging Development, explicitly support the adoption of smart elderly care devices. Local governments have also introduced subsidy programs, creating favorable conditions for the widespread use of intelligent moxibustion equipment.

In the ongoing exploration of community-based elderly care services, moxibustion robots have become indispensable tools for safeguarding seniors' health, thanks to their unique advantages. A prime example is the Zhimei Kangmin moxibustion robot, which has obtained China's Class II medical device certification. This cutting-edge device features 3D visual positioning technology, leveraging intelligent algorithms and precision sensors to accurately identify 361 standard acupuncture points across the human body, with positioning errors strictly controlled within 0.5mm. This ensures both the precision and efficacy of moxibustion therapy.

The robot also employs patented low-temperature ceramic heating technology that simulates traditional moxibustion's thermal stimulation while eliminating burn risks. Additionally, its catalytic smoke purification system and smoke adsorption technology effectively filter fumes generated during treatment, addressing fire hazards and respiratory irritation caused by traditional moxibustion smoke.

Real-World Impact

A pilot project in Zhuhai demonstrated the robot's value: After implementing daily moxibustion therapy for seniors, community health data showed a significant reduction in recurrence rates of lower back and leg pain among the elderly. This success not only improved seniors' quality of life but also provided a replicable model for intelligent transformation in community care services.

Nationwide Adoption

Intelligent moxibustion devices have now been deployed in multiple regions. In Beijing's Chaoyang District, senior care centers established a "15-minute moxibustion service network" using Zhimei Kangmin devices. Guangzhou's Yuexiu District launched the "Silver Age Health Initiative", offering smart moxibustion therapy covered by medical insurance alongside value-added services. These models enhance service efficiency while ensuring sustainable operations.
