In recent years, the global aging problem has intensified, resulting in an increase in the demand for elderly care. This is a hot issue of common concern to our society. Meeting the elderly care needs and allowing them to live a happy, healthy and comfortable life in their later years is a direction that the whole society needs to work together. To provide more convenient and comfortable life services for the elderly and improve their quality of life, smart elderly care products have emerged in recent years.
Our flexible sensors can also be used in elderly care products. For example, it is used in intelligent sleep monitoring products for the elderly, intelligent anti-snoring products for the elderly, bedwetting monitoring products, graphene heating products, intelligent anti-pressure mattresses and other products.
The following is a detailed introduction to several applications.
Intelligent Sleep Monitoring Belt Products
Institutions with demand for this product: high-end hotels, home care, ward monitoring, school staff dormitories, and elderly care institutions, etc.
The smart sleep monitoring belt is a vital signs sleep monitor based on flexible micro-nano sensor application technology. It is a non-interference, non-contact, no need to wear, non-implantable Internet product with good user experience. Because it has the advantages of high accuracy, good feasibility, easy operation, low cost, and relatively mature sign algorithm for monitoring physical sign signals, it is currently a solution widely used in medical, household, consumer electronics and other products. As long as the monitoring belt is placed on mattresses, quilt covers and other bedding products, it can continuously track and analyze the user’s sleep information and health status without direct contact with the human body.
This type of sleep monitoring belt product can achieve accurate monitoring:
1. Monitoring of in/out of bed status;
2. Respiration rate, heart rate and other signal collection;
3. Body movement and turning monitoring;
4. Sleep report/analysis;
5. Support Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G access to App and IoT cloud
Smart Anti-Snoring Pillow Products
Built-in a set of flexible capacitive sensors, flexible piezoelectric sensors and air pressure detection sensors. The flexible capacitive sensor is used to detect the position of the head and determine the state of being away from the pillow. An independent air bag is placed above the flexible capacitive sensor to accurately locate the head position, so that the air bag in the monitoring area can be inflated and deflated by adjusting the head position. Anti-snoring function. The pillow has a built-in flexible piezoelectric sensor that can monitor the user’s vital signs in real time, including heart rate, breathing rate, abnormal breathing, body movement, snoring detection, etc. The air pressure sensor detects the inflation status of the air bag to prevent over-inflation of the air bag.
Bedwetting Monitoring Products
The aging of the population is accelerating, and the number of elderly people suffering from urinary incontinence and night sweats is on the rise. Judging from different care places, about 30% of the elderly in the community, 40%-70% of the elderly in hospitals, and 50% of the elderly in nursing homes have symptoms of urinary incontinence and night sweats. Urinary incontinence seriously affects the quality of life and physical and mental well-being of the elderly, and has received more and more attention in recent years. We can provide technical solutions for bedwetting and night sweat monitoring and alarm systems, which include sensor units, signal processing units, microprocessor units, alarm units, wireless module units, monitoring terminal equipment units and power supply units.
Far-Infrared Graphene Heating Fabric Products
There are many application scenarios, including heating waist protectors, neck protectors, knee protectors made of graphene, graphene mattresses, graphene mats, graphene pillows, etc.
Graphene has the function of emitting far-infrared rays. When heated by electricity, it produces far-infrared rays with a wavelength band of 8-14 microns, which resonates most effectively with water molecules in human cells and is called “life light wave”.
This resonance can effectively promote blood circulation, strengthen the metabolism between tissues, increase the regeneration capacity of tissues, and improve the body’s immunity, thereby playing a role in body health. And the wearing experience is more comfortable and healthier than the heating method of direct contact with heating materials.
Therefore, heating waist protectors, neck protectors, knee protectors and other products made of graphene can be well used to relieve neck pain, sore waist and knees, old cold legs, menstrual pain, etc.
The use of far-infrared graphene heating fabric products can help relax muscles, promote blood microcirculation in the neck, and achieve analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and soothing physical therapy effects.
Smart Anti-Pressure Sore Mattress Products
The flexible array sensor can be customized to the size of a mattress and is ultra-thin and flexible. It has multiple sensing points and can cover the entire body area to accurately provide pressure distribution signals. Real-time collection and real-time understanding of the patient’s actual reaction status on the hospital bed. With the aging of the population, the incidence of pressure ulcers (decubitus sores) in bedridden patients is gradually increasing. Intelligent anti-pressure ulcer mattresses use pressure distribution signals to adjust air bags and change body posture to prevent bedsores and provide monitoring for long-term bedridden patients. Nursing is more humane and provides necessary care to more people in need.
Smart elderly care products provide convenience to the lives of middle-aged and elderly people to a certain extent, and the experience of the elderly is also good. As a pioneer in “technology to assist the elderly”, flexniss has been committed to flexible intelligent sensing solutions to provide life convenience for more elderly people. , solve the problems of the elderly and improve the happiness index!
