AI-based Mobile health robot

Innovation idea
Imaging this scene, A mobile robot shuttles through the home, and he can
help elderly people with disabilities to live, move, beat their backs, daily
physical indicators, and other tasks. The robot's speech recognition system
can help the elderly play their favorite music, TV series, movies, and books
and relieve their emotions with sound products. The robot is equipped with a
panoramic camera that allows you to observe the changes in the elderly with
your mobile phone at any time. Even if you work away from your home, you
can still be in the same space with them instantly. A mobile robot designed
specifically for the elderly, designed to provide a full range of companionship
and life support.

Problem-solving
The National Office for Aging has released a set of data: there are 42 million +
(half) disabled elderly people in China, compared with healthy elderly people,
disabled elderly people have both disabled people and the elderly double
vulnerable, and this part of the elderly show a growing trend. The
corresponding nursing market demand for this part of the elderly is increasing,
but the lack of human resources has been an objective problem.

According to the internationally accepted scale of activities of daily living:


"eating, dressing, getting up and down, going to the toilet, indoor walking and
bathing" six indicators, the birth of the care robot is designed to help the
elderly complete these actions.

professional institutions in the nursing of disabled elderly personnel


configuration, the nursing configuration of mildly disabled elderly is 4 to 1, that
is, 4 elderly people assigned one nurse; The nursing allocation of moderately
disabled elderly is 3 to 1, and that of severely disabled elderly is 2 to 1. If the
ratio of 3 to 1 is calculated, the demand for elderly care workers in China will
reach 15 million. However, according to the data released by the Ministry of
Civil Affairs, there are only more than 500,000 elderly care workers in China in
2020, which is far from meeting the care needs of disabled and mentally
retarded elderly people, and the market gap is more than 10 million.

Innovation description
This solution integrates robot, a Replaceable end-effector prop box, an
intelligent camera, millimeter-wave radar, and a high-performance AI vision
processor.

The robot integrates safety care, active reminders, danger warnings, daily
patrol, social escort, health management, and other applications, and aims to
help the elderly live in daily life. It mainly includes three categories: mobile
assistance, life assistance, and nursing detection.

The wisdom crystallization of the deep integration of AI and elderly care


services can be both software applications such as intelligent voice assistants
and hardware devices that undertake care services, capable of providing life
companionship, mobility assistance, basic diagnosis and treatment, spiritual
comfort and other diversified elderly care services.

without requiring the elderly to wear any additional equipment, but through
millimeter-wave radar, artificial intelligence algorithms and big data analysis
platforms, to realize the quasi-medical level vital signs monitoring such as
heart rate, breathing, sleep and fall monitoring for the elderly. Comprehensive
care of the health and safety of the elderly at home.

The most important part is the replaceable end effector, and users can
purchase accessories according to the customization of the elderly, such as
pulse massage heads, remote control humanoid palms, suction cup tools, and
other auxiliary tools. The robot can standardize and automate the process
according to the predetermined trajectory, and accurately replace the end
effector to achieve the corresponding action.

Market potential
China's smart health robot solution market has increased from 300 million
yuan in 2018 to 1.2 billion yuan in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate
of 41.1%. Under the influence of the shortage of long-term care workers and
the rising trend of the aging population in China, the demand for smart health
robots has increased. Looking forward to the future, driven by technological
progress and sensor iteration, smart health robot will be commercialized, and
there is also considerable room for growth in the smart health robot solution
market. It is expected that the market size of China's smart health robot
solution will reach 1.5 billion yuan in 2023.

The Business model has this way as below:


1.Device sales and subscription services: Offers purchase options for
CareMate Companion devices and offers subscription services, including
regular software updates, health data analytics reports, and more.

2.Customized services: Provide customized services to adjust the functions of


robots according to the individual needs of the elderly, so that they can better
adapt to the user's lifestyle.

3.Health Data Platform: Establish a health data platform and cooperate with
medical institutions to provide the elderly with more comprehensive health
management services, including telemedicine consultation.

4.Home intelligence integration: Integrate with smart home devices and


systems to provide a more comprehensive smart home solution to achieve
home automation and intelligence.

Competition analysis
Eston Robotics, from the industrial robot market into the medical robot market.
The upper limb rehabilitation robot developed by the company has been
announced to obtain a medical device registration certificate in 2020 and will
be sold soon.

Zhongshan Little prodigy Innovation Technology Co., LTD. Making electric


stair climbing and wheelchair. the product is mainly in the form of an intelligent
integrated nursing bed, which centralizes the nursing bed, electric wheelchair,
and shifting functions on one robot.

China's enterprises in the layout of accompanying robots mainly focus on pan-


population products and early childhood education products, but for the
special group of the elderly, there are only a few sporadic attempts.
Service robots, commercial robots transformed, there is no special equipment
for the elderly to play.

Implementation Plan
Find a top investment agency. This step comes first because financial
resources often determine the production experience and the performance of
the robot. find relevant investment institutions, put the concept on a road
show, and obtain early investment.

Since service robots are mechanical equipment, a finance department needs


to be set up to manage procurement and accounting expenditures.
Cooperate with university laboratories, Set up a technical department, From
modeling to drawing, assembling machinery, building circuit departments,
writing control code programs, and debugging equipment.to carry out
technical exchanges, and develop some unique technical patents on products
in order to obtain subsidies from universities and governments.
When the product has a preliminary finished product, establish a Marketing
Department, make related concept videos, recruit brand stories, and establish
and contact the early intended customers, in order to get a deposit and relieve
the pressure of research and development.

Starting from the establishment of the company, the product development


cycle is 1 year, so that the next year can be put on the market.

Feasibility analysis
1. Cost: Analyze the price sensitivity of the target market to ensure that the
selling price of the robot is in line with market demand.
a) Consider the cost of the robot's hardware, software, manufacturing,
testing, etc. to ensure that it is within an acceptable range.

2. Resource requirements: Service robots require advanced hardware and


software technologies, including high-performance sensors, complex
algorithms, and advanced automatic speech recognition. Make sure the
technology meets innovation goals.

3. Technical barriers: Advanced technologies may face challenges in


research and development and implementation, such as complex artificial
intelligence algorithms and autonomous navigation systems.

4. Ethics and Morals: Whether robotic services comply with social ethics and
are acceptable to society.
a) Consider the potential societal impact of robotic services on the
development of artificial intelligence and robotics.

5. Sustainable development: main focus on Environmental protection.


a) Consider the environmental impact of the production and use of
robots and pursue sustainable development.

6. Social responsibility: The company's sense of social responsibility,


including the contribution of service robots to the well-being of the elderly.
