Reflections triggered by aging: the need to realize smart living

Aging is one of the important challenges facing society today. Population aging is irreversible and will bring many impacts on social and economic development. People will grow old, and people's demand for intelligent life is not only to meet the needs of the current life but also to facilitate the life of the elderly. As the aging of the population continues to intensify, we need to think about how to better meet the needs of the elderly. The development of smart living technology provides new ideas and opportunities to address this issue.

Improving the quality of life of older persons

Smart living technologies can help seniors better manage their lives and improve their quality of life. Smart home devices can monitor the health of the elderly and provide customized health management solutions. Smart health bracelets, smart mattresses, and other devices can monitor the sleep quality and physical condition of the elderly in real time, provide timely warnings, and offer appropriate health advice.
Some of the above smart devices are still difficult for the elderly to use, so the designers will add the voice function to easily realize smart life. Of course, smart life technology is not only limited to electrical appliances, such as switches, which are often used in daily life but is also gradually entering the scope of smart life. The wireless kinetic switch is a good choice for smart life. No batteries, no wiring, easy to use, adjust the position of the switch at will, and compatible with voice control and other functions, which is very suitable for the use of the elderly.

Older people can make voice or video calls with distant friends and relatives via smartphones or tablets to share their joys and troubles in life. At the same time, the emergence of smart social robots provides older people with companionship and communication opportunities to reduce their sense of isolation.

Intelligent shopping platforms can allow the elderly to purchase what they need at home without having to go out. Intelligent medical devices can realize remote medical services and provide timely health advice and treatment plans for the elderly. Smart security systems can keep the elderly safe and provide protection. In addition, the wireless smart doorbell also brings security to the elderly home life, the sound quality is clear, no matter any location of the home can hear the visiting bell, will not miss the visitors, but also use the alarm sound to drive away the suspicious stay, very safe, and good quality, no need for frequent maintenance.

The Government and enterprises should increase their investment in the research and development of smart living technologies and promote the popularization of related products and services. At the same time, research on the safety and reliability of smart living technologies needs to be strengthened to protect the rights and safety of the elderly when using smart devices.
