With 280 million people aged 60+ in the Chinese mainland – nearly 20% of its population – the race is on to revolutionize elderly care. Enter nursing robots: high-tech helpers designed to monitor health, assist daily tasks, and even keep seniors company! 🦾❤️
Professor Guo Shijie from Hebei University of Technology told CGTN that ‘smart care solutions’ are critical as demand surges. Think Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons, but optimized for blood pressure checks and fall detection. 📈
Why the urgency? By 2035, China’s elderly population is projected to double, straining traditional care systems. Tech-driven monitoring could ease pressure on families and hospitals while giving seniors more independence. 🌟
While challenges like cost and accessibility remain, Guo emphasized that ‘innovation must meet compassion’ – because every grandparent deserves dignity in their golden years. 👴👵💡
