Can the emergence of the hottest medical service r

Can the emergence of medical service robots solve the problem of providing for the aged?

China, as the world's largest populous country, is now moving towards the stage of aging in an all-round way. In the face of the aging population with an increasing number of users, many couples have to face the daily care of four elderly people. Pension is becoming an increasingly serious social problem. With the continuous improvement of human medical technology, human life expectancy is also increasing. One of the most obvious phenomena is that it is basically difficult to find people who lived longer than 100 years in ancient times, but today, centenarians are no longer a strange thing. At the same time, this has also led to a more and more serious social problem: pension

at present, there are as many as 200million people over 60 years old in China, and the problem of providing for the aged is becoming increasingly serious. At present, China is entering a period of rapid development of population aging, and the number of elderly population is surging at an annual average of more than 8million. It is estimated that by 2020, the elderly population will reach 255million, exceed 400million in 2033, and reach 483million in 2050. However, in the face of an increasingly large elderly group, domestic pension services and talents are far from keeping up. During this period, many one-child families are busy with daily work in addition to taking care of their own children. They have no more energy to take care of both parents, and a large number of elderly people are facing the dilemma of no country for old people

the tide of mobile medicine has faded, but intelligent medicine has begun to rise.

driven by the Internet, a large number of medical platforms combined with the Internet have begun to emerge. However, with the death of Zhang Rui, the founder of Dr. Chunyu, the entire mobile medical industry has also begun to enter a cold winter. Under the situation of declining capital enthusiasm, platforms such as seeking medical advice, good doctors, and medical treatment 160 have also reported transformation or layoffs

for a large number of the elderly, the mobile medical platform has not been able to solve their pension and medical problems. On the one hand, these elderly people do not use smart call medical services; On the other hand, mobile medicine has not been able to solve the current situation of the relative lack of medical staff

therefore, more and more start-ups are looking at intelligent medical devices. On the one hand, they solve their liquidity problems by selling hardware to consumers. On the other hand, they monitor the heart rate, diet, exercise, sleep, etc. of the elderly and patients, and then collect the physiological data of the elderly and patients to provide reference services for professional medical institutions, so as to improve the health management of the elderly and patients, Especially for the elderly whose various body organs are gradually declining, this kind of intelligent medicine can help them prevent disease outbreaks and carry out good chronic disease management

with the emergence of intelligent medicine, various AI technologies have also been applied to various medical devices, and various medical service robots have emerged under this collision

first, nursing robots

nursing robots mainly provide physical care services for the elderly and patients, which can be divided into two categories

1. Home medical care robot

home medical care robot, through the medical service robot, can be built-in various health care service platforms, which will gather pharmacies, hospitals and doctors on the platform. They can not only provide medical services for the elderly. If the elderly are sick, the medical service robot can also contact the doctor through its own built-in service. 2. Deformation measurement is measured through deformation measurement installation. It can even find a drugstore according to the doctor's prescription and buy drugs directly online

in Japan, the RI-MAN robot developed by the biological simulation control research center of Nagoya Institute of Science in Japan not only has a soft and safe appearance, but also has tactile sensors on its arms and body, so that it can carefully lift or move patients. In the future, it is entirely possible for this kind of robot to replace nursing workers to take care of the elderly or the weak and sick

in China, qihan technology from Shenzhen launched Sanbao robot. This robot is a platform type service robot. It has 60 + sensor chips, which can realize the function of seeing, listening, touching and smelling, comprehensively perceive the surrounding environment, and integrate with the scene intelligence. By combining various AI technologies, including semantic understanding and execution, face detection and recognition, autonomous sound source localization, automatic charging, autonomous walking and obstacle avoidance, intelligent bodyguard strategies, etc., we can provide different intelligent services in different business scenarios. For example, in medical treatment, it can use telehealth technology to realize nursing functions, and remind the elderly to take medicine on time

however, whether ri-m robot in Japan or Sanbao robot in Shenzhen in China aims at this problem, if they want to fully help their children fulfill their obligations of supporting the elderly, they need to continue to improve their nursing functions, and even improve some chat functions, so as to relieve the loneliness of the elderly

2. Hospital nursing robots

in hospitals, the cost of medical staff is rising significantly, especially in many daily medical work, many hospitals often encounter the situation of insufficient staff, and at this time, hospital nursing robots will be of great use. From prescription robots to equipment delivery robots to disinfection robots, hospital nursing robots are being accepted and used by more and more hospitals

in addition, medical workers often encounter some radioactive and infectious working environments, and some patients and the elderly even need 24-hour medical care. At this time, the advantages of medical robots are fully reflected. A technology company from Shanghai has launched a titanium robot, which can provide patients with timely infusion services, dispensing services, physical examination services, rehabilitation care, etc. doctors can also diagnose patients according to the data measured by the robot

the emergence of this kind of hospital nursing robot not only saves a lot of human costs, but also improves work efficiency, and even can deal with some jobs that hospital nurses can't cope with

in addition, Xinsong robot, the largest enterprise in Shenyang, is building a nursing machine for the elderly. As the first domestic and clinically used medical robot company in China, miaoheren Technology Group is also launching all kinds of smart hand service robots, which are used in household, medical, business and other fields

second, telemedicine service robot

for the chronic disease symptoms of a large number of elderly people, some robot companies began to launch telemedicine services. The telemedicine robot developed by micklemy can be used for mobile patrol monitoring in the ward, and can also take good care of the elderly who are unable to move. They protect a fair and orderly market competition environment "At present, telemedicine robots are equipped with camera voice devices, routine physical examination equipment, etc. doctors can conduct remote communication, consultation and examination with patients in designated wards through network command anytime and anywhere in the office or at home, and save important data and information at any time.

Beijing remote vision Robot Technology Co., Ltd. has launched Mengmeng home robot, which integrates the resources of hospitals, doctors, terminals, etc By virtue of the robot product service system, the source of flow, overvoltage, overload and other protection devices has been integrated into pharmacies, grass-roots medical institutions and other places in various provinces and cities across the country to provide users with short-range, low-cost remote consultation, treatment and rehabilitation services

for this kind of telemedicine service robot, it can also realize simple medical care for the elderly, but they can make doctors better understand the physical condition of patients through the help of robots, so that they can understand the symptoms of patients at the first time and take effective preventive measures

III. medical robot

this kind of medical robot collects human face image and tongue image through vision, collects human pulse through machine or bracelet, and then intelligently judges human face image, tongue image and pulse data by using advanced computer vision, machine learning, artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms, combined with inquiry information, and finally infers the overall health constitution type of human body through traditional Chinese medicine model, And provide personalized rehabilitation suggestions according to the specific situation, including health care principles, diet and medicinal diet, daily health preservation, acupoint pressing, traditional Chinese medicine and music therapy

in other words, this health management robot is different from the home care robot in that it has more powerful functions. It can directly propose various treatment methods for the physical conditions of elderly patients

it is precisely because the medical robot needs to have the medical skills to become a doctor, and also needs to ensure that the robot will not be misdiagnosed in the process of diagnosing patients, so it is very difficult. At present, many medical robot companies at home and abroad are trying to build such medical robots, but no robot can fully achieve this ideal state

IV. surgical robot

surgical robot is widely used. At present, Leonardo da Vinci robot is the most influential robot in the world. It is a very advanced robot platform, which can perform complex surgery by using minimally invasive methods. At present, it has been widely used in general surgery, thoracic surgery, Urology, obstetrics and Gynecology, head and neck surgery and heart surgery. However, the expensive price and after-sales service cost of Da Vinci robot, which is as high as more than 20 million, have also deterred many small and medium-sized hospitals in China

in November 2013, the minimally invasive abdominal surgery robot system developed by the robot research institute of Harbin Institute of technology broke the technological monopoly of imported Da Vinci surgical robots and accelerated the realization of domestic minimally invasive surgical robots to assist surgery. At the same time, more and more domestic technology companies have begun to develop surgical robots

through the application of new technologies, especially minimally invasive surgery, surgical robots can enable many middle-aged and elderly people who are not suitable for surgery to perform minimally invasive surgery through surgical robots, greatly reducing the physical harm of surgery to middle-aged and elderly people

v. rehabilitation robot

rehabilitation robot is more about providing more reasonable physical recovery management for patients' physical recovery after illness. Especially for some elderly people, they may not be well cared for after surgery, and may even lead to the deterioration of their condition. At this time, the role of rehabilitation robot is highlighted. Rehabilitation robots can effectively assist medical treatment, and provide effective physical recovery programs for patients through in-depth study of the law of human motion rehabilitation

China is rapidly entering an aging society. In the next 20 to 30 years, there will be more than 400million elderly patients over the age of 60 and more than 500million patients with chronic diseases who need rehabilitation treatment. On the one hand, the aging of the population has increased the probability of disability and the number of disabled people. Due to the decline of physiological function, the moderate incidence rate and the probability of disability of cerebrovascular disease, osteoarthropathy and stroke in the elderly have increased; On the other hand, for a long time, the acute treatment mode of patients with chronic diseases has led to an increasing disability rate of chronic diseases. Rehabilitation robots can help patients with movement disorders (such as stroke, traumatic nerve injury, spinal cord injury, physical disability, movement disorders caused by aging, etc.) to carry out efficient treatment and rehabilitation

at present, there are some good ones abroad
