What it does

This product aims to address the problems faced by elderly people when seeking medical treatment, such as traditional physical exertion during registration, cumbersome physical examination processes, and obstacles in intelligent terminal operations.


Your inspiration

The decision to solve this problem stems from witnessing elderly people's struggles in hospitals: exhaustion from traditional registration, confusion with smart devices, and getting lost in complex procedures. It's heart-wrenching to see their medical needs unmet. The solution idea comes from integrating technology with their actual needs. Observing they find it hard to operate complex systems, we used voice interaction. Noting their fatigue, we designed auto-navigation via dual positioning and real-time data to ease burdens.


How it works

The product integrates intelligent appointment systems and hospital IoT. Elderly users can generate 体检 plans via voice interaction. With Bluetooth-WiFi dual-frequency positioning and real-time hospital flow data, it realizes automatic navigation to departments, simplifying procedures and reducing physical exertion.​


Design process

First, the concept emerged from observing elderly medical difficulties. Then, a basic prototype with a voice module and simple positioning was made, using cardboard for the frame.​ Testing found the voice response slow and positioning inaccurate. The second prototype upgraded the chip, added dual-frequency modules, and used 3D-printed parts for stability.​ Further feedback showed navigation lagged. The final version integrated real-time hospital data, optimized algorithms, and refined the wheelchair’s ergonomics for comfort.​


How it is different

Unlike ordinary wheelchairs or single-function medical aids, this product integrates voice interaction, dual-frequency positioning, and real-time hospital data into one, achieving a closed-loop service from appointment to navigation.​ It focuses on elderly users’ actual needs: simplifying operations through voice control, reducing physical exertion via automatic navigation, and adapting to complex hospital environments with dual-frequency positioning, which distinguishes it from rigid, less integrated 同类 products.​


Future plans

Future plans include upgrading AI algorithms to enhance voice recognition accuracy for dialects. We’ll add health monitoring, integrating vital sign sensors to alert medical staff in emergencies.​ It will connect to family apps, letting relatives track the elderly’s location. Unlike existing products, it focuses on holistic care, making it more human-centered.​
