Shanghai:Aging in the Digital Age

摘要

At 87,Mr.Yu submitted a smart home upgrade application to Shanghai’s municipal service platform for senior citizens in late 2021 with assistance from his community in Jing’an District.After receiving his application,Shanghai Fu Shou Kang In-home Senior Care Service dispatched a doorstep examination and evaluation of Yu’s physical condition and home environment based on which they designed a tailored smart home renovation plan.The octogenarian now appreciates the convenience of operating his bedroom lights,curtains,and electric drying rack with just a tap on his smartphone or the sound of his voice.A railed bed and a lightweight wheelchair were also installed at his home,making daily care easier for his children.
