Shanghai to revolutionize elderly care

An exhibitor demonstrates equipment to safely transfer a senior from a chair to a bed at an elderly care exhibition in Shanghai on June 13. It aims to enhance the autonomous perception, learning, decision-making and execution capabilities of elderly care technology products through the development of embodied intelligence and generative artificial intelligence technologies. To drive the application and showcase the potential of these innovative products, the plan outlines initiatives to expedite the adoption of smart aging solutions, encourage the utilization of intelligent elderly care products in care facilities, and establish demonstration centers for elderly care technology products. Additionally, support will be extended to independently developed elderly care technology products and explore insurance coverage options for these cutting-edge solutions. The plan also underscores the significance of fostering a conducive environment for industry growth by backing enterprise innovation, establishing high-caliber incubators, fostering industry clusters, and fortifying standard systems to ensure seamless integration and interoperability of elderly care technology products.
