The optimal rehabilitation plan AI proposes! State-of-the-art welfare equipment exhibition Tokyo 25 September 16:17

AI: An exhibition that gathered the latest technologies in the welfare field, such as a nursing care robot using artificial intelligence, began in Tokyo on the 25th.

438 companies and research institutes from Japan and overseas participated in the “International Welfare Equipment Exhibition” that started at Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward on the 25th.

Among them, Panasonic showed a new service that AI supports rehabilitation.

When a user answers a questionnaire about daily life such as walking and eating with a tablet terminal and photographs the state of walking with a camera, AI proposes an optimal rehabilitation plan based on the movement of the skeleton.

Subsequent training also means that AI will identify the user and automatically create a record of each improvement.

With the policy of starting the service around the fall of next year, Mr. Nissei Kawakami, Director of the Robotics and Rehabilitation Business Development Department, said, “We want to make up for the shortage of human resources in the nursing field and contribute to improving the quality of life for users.” I was talking.

In addition, St. Care Holding, a welfare-related business, will exhibit a nursing care robot equipped with AI, which is scheduled to be put into practical use next month.

The robot is a humanoid that can carry meals at nursing care facilities and can also inform staff when it detects dangerous situations such as a user dropping from a bed by looking around the facility. This exhibition is open until 27th.
