1. Investment in Smart Technologies for Elderly Care is Promising
The rising number of elderly people in China is driving a significant demand for quality products and services, making the prospects for the “silver economy” very promising.
Yang Fan, an associate professor at the School of International and Public Affairs in Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s China Institute for Urban Governance,
emphasizes that investing in smart technologies to assist older adults is a key strategy.
This includes the development and deployment of elderly transfer machines, which are becoming increasingly important in enhancing the quality of life for the elderly.
2. Technological Advancements in Elderly Transfer Machines
Elderly transfer machines are designed based on ergonomic principles, utilizing mechanical structures to facilitate smooth patient transfers.
These machines often employ electric or pneumatic drive systems, combined with adjustable support systems to accommodate elderly individuals of different body types and weights.
The design of the operation interface emphasizes user-friendliness, ensuring that caregivers can easily master the usage methods and reduce operational difficulties
3. Impact on Care Efficiency and Caregiver Workload
In practical applications, elderly transfer machines have significantly improved care efficiency and reduced the workload of caregivers.
Research studies indicate that the use of transfer machines effectively decreases the risk of secondary injuries in the elderly due to improper transfers, such as falls and fractures.
Moreover, these machines promote the self-care abilities of the elderly, enhancing their sense of social participation and quality of life
