[Explanation] A small circuit breaker may save the life of an elderly living alone.

On December 21st, a "smart circuit breaker" with a system based on a smart IoT platform was installed in the meter box of the 92-year-old lonely old man Jiang Longdi who lives in Ouyang Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai.

Such a "smart meter" analyzes the living conditions of the elderly through big data and cloud computing. When the elderly are in a "no-life" or "dangerous life", they will automatically report warnings and notify family members and community workers to ensure the safety of the elderly living alone.

  With the returned data, we use our algorithm to determine whether the life of the elderly is normal.

The current abnormal situation can be divided into several categories: one is that his (her) overall electricity consumption is abnormal. This is a real-time warning that we can make; the other is that he (she) has an abnormality when going out. If the situation of going out for more than one day is not returned, then we will also make an alarm; another alarm is more dangerous, that is, an alarm for the whole lifeless state, that is, if the elderly say that it is useless at home An act of electricity is produced.

  [Explanation] When an elderly person has an abnormal situation, the system will immediately send an abnormal reminder to the elderly's family and community street staff.

Relevant responsible personnel will go to the scene to verify the real situation of the elderly according to the platform reminders, so as to provide safety guarantee for the emergency rescue of the elderly.

  The reporter learned that the "smart circuit breaker" has been applied in Tianjin before.

  There is an old man at home boiled water, because his (her) water has been boiled for a long time, and it has boiled dry.

After we (received the information), we pushed the relevant alarm information to a contact person in a community here in Tianjin. After he received the text message, he went to the site to verify it.

It was found on the scene that there was already a burning smell in the old man’s home, and there was no large-scale fire, so that the fire did not occur, and the safety of electricity for the old man was also guaranteed.

  [Explanation] Wang Lei, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Ouyang Road Street, Hongkou District, Shanghai, told reporters that Ouyang Road Street is the most aging neighborhood in Hongkou District, with an aging rate of nearly 45%.

It has become a necessary and feasible choice to provide support for elderly care services through information technology and technology empowerment.

  One is how to continue to connect with technology companies, and on the basis of the current pilot, strive to use technology as soon as possible to empower such a portrait for the elderly to draw more accurately.

Under this premise, we will expand the capacity after the pilot and expand the coverage.

The second task is to provide training for old cadres with the children of the elderly, our social workers, including our neighborhood committees, so that they can provide timely matching services under the premise of mastering scientific and technological information.

  [Explanation] In addition, in the future, Ouyang Road Street may consider incorporating the system data into the "one network for office, one network for unified management" platform to maintain, report and save the data.
