Innovative technologies, solutions, and services benefiting the elderly citizens will be highlighted at an expo set to open in the Pudong New Area on Thursday as part of the "silver economy."
The Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau announced on Tuesday that the three-day International Exhibition of Senior Care, Rehabilitation Medicine, and Healthcare Shanghai 2024, also known as China Aid, will bring together approximately 450 exhibitors, including 100 overseas exhibitors from Japan, the Netherlands, and Australia, to display their latest products and services.
The exhibition will span 46,000 square meters and include six sections: senior-care services, nursing services, rehabilitative devices, rehabilitation and medical treatment, health management, and livable architecture.
After 24 years of development, the event has grown into a world-class comprehensive industry fair for the wellbeing of the aged.
The Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau and the Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shanghai have been hosting the event since 2000.
Overall, exhibitors showcasing breakthrough technologies and senior-care science and technology goods will make up 25 percent of the total this year.
These will comprise portable intelligent wearable equipment, a millimeter wave radar monitoring system, and sleep and respiratory management solutions for the elderly.
An AI alarming system allows elders to inform others in the event of an emergency by just knocking, as the system recognizes the signal by pounding on the wall or desk and supports dialect alerts.
