News 1+1丨How to "guard" the elderly living alone with smart water meters?
How can a smart water meter increase the safety of elderly people living alone?
With smart water meters, smart door sensors, smoke alarms, and infrared monitoring, what kind of elderly service network is Shanghai exploring?
"News 1+1" connected with Dai Tao, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiangsu Road Street, Changning District, Shanghai; Peng Xizhe, Director of the Population and Development Policy Research Center of Fudan University, and shared concerns: How to "guard" the elderly living alone with smart water meters?
Smart water meter + "One network unified management" platform, 24 hours to protect the safety of the elderly, the first time to provide safety and rescue
Dai Tao, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiangsu Road Street, Changning District, Shanghai:
The application of smart water meters benefits from the fact that every district and every street and town in Shanghai has an urban operation center. The urban operation center runs 24 hours a day. It has built a "one network". The unified management platform can transmit these data in real time.
If a problem is found, the information will be sent to the contact person through the government WeChat terminal as soon as possible, that is, the contact person of the elderly living alone, as well as the neighborhood committee cadres, including his family members.
These contacts are usually the building or some volunteers in the community, etc., they will come to the door as soon as possible, if they find something, contact our backstage, 120 or other related departments will arrive as soon as possible on site.
Where did the idea of installing a smart water meter for the elderly living alone come from?
Dai Tao, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiangsu Road Sub-district, Changning District, Shanghai:
We usually have a one-to-one contact mechanism for the elderly, but later found that it is impossible to accompany 24 hours a day. How can we grasp the dynamic information in time and provide care?
During the epidemic, we discovered that some dynamic information could be grasped by installing door sensors, so we wondered whether we could use such a method to grasp the dynamic information of the elderly.
It just so happens that China Telecom and the water department are also in my district unit, and we will discuss with them with the civil affairs department whether this problem can be solved through such modern technological means.
Is smart equipment for the elderly acceptable to elderly people living alone?
Dai Tao, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiangsu Road Sub-district, Changning District, Shanghai:
With the implementation of “one network management” and “one network operation” in Shanghai over the past two years, the digitalization of the entire city, coupled with the current digital transformation, the elderly in Shanghai are more The acceptance of chemistry is getting higher and higher.
But we feel that we can't completely rely on intelligence, because intelligent means must be closely integrated with our traditional working methods.
In a deeply aging community, what pressure do community workers face?
Dai Tao, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiangsu Road Street, Changning District, Shanghai:
Our community workers are also under a lot of pressure, especially in a highly aging community like ours. How to make the elderly safe first? On this basis Happier and more quality life?
We are also thinking about how to provide them with a kind of all-weather meticulous care. We are also constantly learning and exploring, but we still need the whole society to participate together.
Can it be promoted nationwide? Behind the innovation of Shanghai to install smart water meters for elderly people living alone is the intention of the government and the intention of enterprises
Professor Peng Xizhe, Director and Professor of the Population and Development Policy Research Center of Fudan University
: The case of Changning District is actually a practical application of the development of smart elderly care to the present. It can be further promoted throughout the country, but the technology of smart water meters is not complicated and there is no A particularly important type of technological innovation, but the application of this technology in the field of elderly care shows that the government is very diligent, and the second enterprise is committed.
Behind it is a complete old-age care service system. It starts from the discovery of the problem with the smart water meter to the transmission to the Internet, and then the network backend deals with it. After that, volunteers and professionals come to provide services. The entire system needs to be built, not just a smart water meter. You can solve the problem.
The realization of smart elderly care requires the promotion of government concepts and the promotion of market allocation
Peng Xizhe, Director and Professor, Population and Development Policy Research Center of Fudan University:
Shanghai’s pilot installation of smart water meters for elderly people living alone reflects the concept of government services. It is necessary to build a service-oriented government, especially using the current Internet of Things and Internet IT technologies. Elderly care services create better benefits and enable people to get better services and satisfaction.
At the same time, make full use of the market resource allocation capability. The water meter itself is not made by the government, but by the market. It is an elderly care product, but the elderly care products made by the enterprise are included in the government's "one network unified management" and "one network connection". Among the network and management system and platform, it plays a very huge role.
Therefore, I think that if it needs to be promoted nationwide, it may not only be the technology of smart water meters, but also the overall service system.
How to provide for the aged in underdeveloped areas? Idea is more important than money
Professor Peng Xizhe, Director and Professor of the Center for Population and Development Policy Research of Fudan University:
There are differences in economic conditions in various places, and all places do not necessarily have to use the same method to promote this technology. It must be adapted to local conditions.
It is necessary to consider the local social and economic development, cultural traditions, and living patterns, so that the service system can meet and conform to the local old-age service management habits.
Shanghai used to have doorbells for mutual assistance, Ankangtong, etc. At that time, services were available without the Internet, but the technology and platform of the Internet could make the original service system purely based on human resources and provide better service results.
So in this process, the most critical and important thing is the concept. As long as the concept is right and the concept is right, money can be obtained from the market to a certain extent. Sometimes it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to do these things. .
Future smart elderly care: imagination + ideas + technology rich in humanistic care
Professor Peng Xizhe, Director and Professor of the Center for Population and Development Policy Research of Fudan University:
For the elderly, imagination, especially ideas, and finally building a complete system is the key to solving problems after
adjusting measures
to local conditions.
Elderly care services are implemented now. In fact, the technology is cold, but with human care, technology will become warm at this time, which requires the government, market, society, including families, the elderly, etc. to jointly promote this matter .
If we do this together, we can do it well.
