1. Diversified supply of elderly care services

As far as the precise supply of elderly care services is concerned, “Internet +” can improve the enthusiasm of social entities to participate in elderly care services by optimizing the allocation of resources. In the current elderly care service system, the elderly care infrastructure is basically invested and constructed by the government, but the government is not the only main body that builds elderly care facilities. Some units will also invest in the construction of some elderly care service facilities up.

Under the circumstance that the elderly have mobile phones, targeted pushes are carried out, and the elderly can also find these facilities during normal searches, which not only increases the selection opportunities of the elderly, but also brings returns to related enterprises. In this way, the participation of enterprises and social organizations in the construction of old-age service facilities is increased, and smart devices suitable for the elderly can be developed to create more convenient services for the elderly.

2. Digitalization of pension service information

In the context of the “Internet +” era, the emergence of big data has promoted the reform of new pension methods. Big data brings convenience to community home care work, and also brings good news to the elderly living at home with inconvenience.

With the help of big data, it is possible to establish a complete information platform for home-based elderly care, integrate effective social resources, and realize the professionalization of home-based elderly care. The elderly can enjoy convenient door-to-door services at home through a phone call or an instruction from the Internet. The social management and supervision of the elderly are completely acceptable to the elderly.

Through the establishment of an elderly service information platform, various physical indicators and data of the elderly can be collected and analyzed, the service needs of the elderly can be obtained in a timely manner, and services can be provided regularly and proactively for the elderly assessment and supervision.

With the continuous growth of relevant information and data, the processing of massive elderly care service data through Internet technology can not only improve management efficiency, save human resources, and reduce maintenance costs.

The old cost can also use its scale effect to save the government and society’s pension service expenditure.

3. Intelligent elderly care services

With the widespread use of the Internet in elderly care services, many network information technology methods have also been adopted in the process of community home-based elderly care services, and intelligent and high-tech elderly care service methods provide a full range of services for the elderly.

The intelligent old-age care method applies Internet technology, wireless transmission technology, remote monitoring technology,and daily old-age care services, so that the daily life of the elderly is in a remote monitoring state all day long.

The introduction of “Internet +” can use big data to mine the living habits of the elderly, so as to provide more intelligent, personalized and professional online and offline elderly care services for the elderly.

Smart community to smart community for the aged is just a matter of smooth sailing, so its development prospects are very considerable. On the other hand, with the advancement of Internet technology, elderly care services can form an effective closed loop. It can be said that smart community elderly care is a major trend in the future, a pandemic.

“Health comes from sleep” is a new view put forward by medical researchers based on the latest results of sleep research in recent years. Long-term lack of sleep and insomnia can cause a series of damage to the body, including decreased thinking ability, decreased vigilance and judgment, low immune function, and endocrine disorders. Sleep has six main functions.

1. Eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength

Sleep is the main way to eliminate physical fatigue. Because the gastrointestinal tract and its related organs are in a state of rest during sleep. During sleep, body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure drop, breathing slows, and the body’s basal metabolic rate decreases, thereby restoring physical strength. More importantly, when sleeping, the human body synthesizes the energy substances needed by the body to make it for use during activities. Experiments have shown that energy anabolism in the body exceeds catabolism during sleep, so that the energy consumed by the tissue during activity is supplemented.

2. Protect the brain and restore energy

Sleep is what the brain needs to rest and repair. Lack of sleep, manifested as irritability, excitement or apathy, lax attention, memory loss, long-term lack of sleep can lead to hallucinations. Those who get enough sleep are energetic, quick-thinking, and efficient. This is due to the fact that the human brain has highly developed functions, but after a certain level of continuous operation the brain becomes tired. The oxygen consumption of the brain is greatly reduced during sleep, which is beneficial to the energy storage of brain cells and the repair and maintenance of some important nerve cells. Sleep is not only “body rest”, it is important to rest the brain and eliminate brain fatigue. Therefore, sleep is beneficial to protect the brain and improve brain power.

3. Enhance immunity and recover the body

“Sleep is the first line of defense against disease.” In addition to eliminating fatigue and giving people new vitality, sleep is also closely related to improve immunity and resist diseases. Under normal circumstances, the secretion of corticosteroids will gradually decline at night, and cooperate with melatonin, so that people can quickly enter the dream state. The amount of corticosteroids rises slowly with dawn, reaching a peak near dawn. With adequate sleep, corticosteroids have a natural cycle that refreshes the body. But if you don’t get enough sleep for a week, and corticosteroids don’t peak in the early morning, you’ll experience listlessness and so on. People who lack sleep for a long time, the blood sugar level has increased, which may be caused by the lack of sleep and makes the central nervous system active, inhibits the function of the pancreas, and reduces the secretion of insulin. It can be seen that lack of sleep may be one of the reasons for the increase in the number of people suffering from diabetes in recent years.

4. Delay aging and promote longevity

In a person’s life, awakening and sleep alternate like day and night, which constitute the basic law of life. Once this law is terminated, life will end. Human aging is the first reduction of brain cells, and one of the methods to delay the aging of brain cells is adequate and effective sleep. In recent years, many investigation and research data have shown that healthy and long-lived elderly people have a good and normal sleep. . Therefore, people must pay attention to sleep, the only way to avoid premature aging.

5. Protect people’s mental health

Sleep is very important to protect people’s mental health and maintain their normal psychological activities. Because of poor sleep in a short period of time, there will be distraction, while for a long time, it can cause memory loss, cognitive decline, unreasonable thinking and emotional disorders and other abnormal conditions.

6. Good for skin beauty

Lack of sleep, no matter how much beauty you do, won’t help. Sleep reinfuses the body with new energy. If you don’t sleep well, you will feel stiff joints and weak legs and feet when you wake up in the morning. The skin is also reconditioned at night, and cell division is accelerated by 200% during sleep. During sleep, skin metabolism is active, capillary circulation increases, and its secretion and removal process is strengthened, providing more nutrients and oxygen to the skin, taking away toxins and metabolites, and accelerating skin regeneration, so sleep is beneficial to skin beauty.

Plus1 has launched a non-wearable smart sleep monitoring belt, which can collect all-night sleep information in multiple dimensions through medical-grade ultra-thin sensors, including heart rate, breathing rate, turning over, getting out of bed. Plus1 intelligent sleep monitoring belt can help you improve sleep quality and healthy living standard by monitoring real-time heart rate and breathing rate, recording the duration of falling asleep, sleeping time, and getting out of bed, monitoring abnormal heartbeat and breathing, and analyzing sleep quality.

Research by more and more medical experts shows that one of the important indicators for judging cardiovascular disease is “heart rate”. If the heart rate is accelerated, it will greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Cardiovascular disease patients should manage their heart rate reasonably, optimize their lifestyle, and mix their diets reasonably to ensure a normal life and rest. Cardiovascular disease patients must pay attention to heart rate and do a good job in heart rate management.

The total number of heartbeats in a person’s life is about 2.5 billion to 3 billion times. The regularity of the heartbeat and the number of heartbeats affect human health, especially for patients with cardiovascular disease. Resting heart rate is closely related to cardiovascular disease. Studies have confirmed that people with a fast heart rate at rest have higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and an increased heart rate also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. It can be said that the faster the heart rate, the shorter the lifespan. The increased heart rate reflects sympathetic activity in the body. Sympathetic excitement will secrete a large amount of catecholamines such as epinephrine and norepinephrine. Under the action of these hormones, the heart rate will increase, blood pressure will increase, and breathing will increase. When the sympathetic nerve continues to be active and the level of adrenaline secretion continues to increase substantially, the consumption of the heart also increases.

For patients with cardiovascular disease, abnormal heart rate indicates that cardiovascular disease will worsen, so for patients with cardiovascular disease, it is necessary to pay attention to the normal beating of heart rate in time. When heart rate arrhythmia occurs, people will experience symptoms such as feeling depressed, panicked, nervous. Therefore, when heart rate arrhythmia appears, enough attention should be paid and active treatment methods should be taken.

Plus1Health has a sleep recorder, which can continuously monitor for a long time, monitor heart rate and breathing rate, and automatically generate sleep reports and analysis.There is also a free heart rate app “Heart Rate“:

With the acceleration of the social pace, people’s life is getting better and better, and the number of cardiovascular diseases is increasing, which has a great impact on people’s normal life. For patients with cardiovascular disease, heart rate is a measure of the condition. Whether the standard is stable or not, severe patients will experience sudden death, so patients with vascular diseases must usually pay attention to their heart rate.

Many people in the society experience heart rate beating too fast or too slow. For patients with cardiovascular disease, the increase or decrease of the heart rate directly indicates the change of the condition. The unstable heart rate will cause great harm to the body. Therefore, when the heart rate is abnormal, enough attention should be paid to avoid aggravation of cardiovascular disease.

For the elderly with cardiovascular disease, when the heart rate is abnormal, it will bring great harm to life and health, and it is easy to cause serious blood stasis in the atrium, rapid heartbeat, chest tightness, shortness of breath. It leads to different degrees of atrophy and numbness in the limbs of the elderly, and in severe cases, the elderly may be paralyzed.

In the hot summer, it is necessary to do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling down in time to prevent heatstroke from causing the heart rate to beat faster. When the heart rate is abnormal, it will bring different degrees of harm to the body. It should be paid enough attention to prevent arrhythmia in life, and do some sports appropriately, and avoid some high-intensity exercise, which will easily lead to the human body. The heart rate beats faster, and a reasonable diet should be done in the usual diet to ensure adequate sleep to prevent the aggravation of cardiovascular disease.

Sympathetic activity and high blood pressure are interrelated. A high heart rate increases the chance of developing high blood pressure, which in turn, can cause damage to heart function.

In people who already have high blood pressure, inhibiting sympathetic nerve activity can slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure. When the heart rate of hypertensive patients is higher than 75 beats/min, heart rate management is recommended. Rational use of antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of doctors, long-term heart rate monitoring, and establishment of a good lifestyle, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, stable mood, guaranteed sleep, and strict self-disciplined living habits, so as to improve the health of patients with hypertension and quality of Life.

Heart rate can be monitored by touch pulse, heart auscultation, electronic sphygmomanometer, electrocardiogram, ambulatory blood pressure.

1. Office heart rate: Count the heart rate by touching the pulse and auscultating of the heart. There are many factors that affect heart rate, including physiological factors, psychological factors, environment and body position. There are many factors affecting the heart rate in the clinic. Even if the measurement is standardized, it is still difficult to avoid overestimating the resting heart rate.

2. Home self-measurement of heart rate: It is recommended that patients use a home automatic sphygmomanometer to measure and report heart rate at the same time. Home self-measurement of heart rate may provide more valuable information for clinical practice. The frequency of home self-measurement of heart rate is usually two times a day in the morning and evening, and the average value is taken.

3. Dynamic heart rate monitoring: It can be measured by 24-hour electrocardiogram and 24-hour blood pressure. Compared with office heart rate and home self-measured heart rate, ambulatory heart rate can provide more predictive information for clinical practice. 24-hour heart rate monitoring reflects the cumulative damage to the arterial wall caused by cardiac hemodynamic load and mechanical tension of the arterial wall. Ambulatory heart rate should be reported in hypertensive patients at the same time as ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Plus1Health has a sleep recorder, which can continuously monitor for a long time, monitor the human body’s breathing and heart rate without perception, collect various data, real-time detection, real-time analysis, and real-time early warning. Automatically generate reports and analysis to prevent disease risks.

To achieve targeted control and prevention of sleep problems, the best way is to conduct professional inspections in medical institutions and comprehensive inspections. However, under the constraints of time and cost, most of the time what everyone needs is a service that can provide daily data monitoring and sleep advice. The sleep monitoring service is thus born. From the current point of view, there are three main solutions for this type of service:

1. Mobile APP monitoring: sleep monitoring and guidance are carried out through the sensors that come with the mobile phone.

2. Wearable device monitoring: data monitoring through smart watches/bands and other devices.

3. Non-wearable device monitoring: Attach various sensors to pillows, sheets or bedsides for sleep monitoring.

1. Mobile APP

The mobile app uses the accelerometer, gyroscope, and microphone that come with the mobile phone to monitor sleep movements and analyze sleep quality. The mobile app requires the mobile phone to be as close as possible to the body and turn on the microphone, and then record the complete process from lying down to falling asleep to waking up according to the vibration of the bed and the surrounding sound.

Mobile app generally have functions: monitor sleep time, monitor deep sleep time, record sleep talking or snoring, record wake time, etc. But it is not difficult to find that the mobile phone app monitoring is in principle through the sensor of the mobile phone to sense the vibration of the bed and the surrounding sound. This is okay for single people, there is only one person on the bed. If the couple sleeps together and more than one person shares the same bed, this calculation is problematic. In addition, monitoring with a mobile phone app also has problems such as radiation and power consumption. Since there is no direct contact with the person being monitored, data such as pulse and blood oxygen saturation cannot be monitored. In addition, if you operate mobile phones, tablets and other devices before going to bed, the blue light emitted by the screen will affect the formation of melatonin in the human body and have a negative impact on sleep.

2. Wearable Devices

Wearable devices have their own acceleration sensors. Whether you wear a bracelet or a watch, you can more accurately perceive your movements and biological data through the built-in sensors.

When the built-in sensor of the wearable device records your exercise status and biological data, the data is transmitted to the mobile phone through bluetooth, and based on the personal information you provide, such as age, height, weight, etc., it is analyzed in the mobile phone app, and finally a series of statistical results are given. What data is included in the statistics depends on what hardware capabilities your wearable device has. If your wearable has a heart rate sensor, it can record changes in your heart rate while you sleep. If there are red LED and infrared LED, blood oxygen levels can also be detected. These are all auxiliary analysis effects for your sleep monitoring, which are much more accurate than mobile phone monitoring. Moreover, the wearable device is independent and will not be affected by the monitoring data of the person sleeping together.

This measurement method is much more accurate than a mobile phone, but if you want to thoroughly know how your brain waves are active when you sleep, or to accurately analyze what causes your insomnia, a wristband or watch is far from being able to do. On the other hand, professional medical equipment is often more expensive and inconvenient to carry. Wearable devices solve the problem of carrying, which can facilitate us to monitor sleep quality and make targeted improvements based on sleep conditions.

3. Non-wearable devices

Common non-wearable devices include smart mattresses, smart pillows, smart bed belts, and smart buckles. Such smart hardware products, which are solely designed for sleep monitoring, generally have built-in high-sensitivity sensors that can record the user’s sleep quality, heart rate, breathing and snoring.

Users can view the sleep report analyzed by the software on the mobile phone through a bluetooth connection. The biggest weakness of wearables is their inability to record and analyze breathing, which is the advantage of non-wearables. Non-wearable devices also monitor sleep quality for personal movement. Although they are placed on the bed, they are in close contact with people, making movement recording more accurate.

Nowadays, there are many sleep monitoring devices, which are divided into wearable and non-wearable devices. Wearable devices are generally smart watches, smart bracelets, etc., and non-wearable devices are generally smart mattresses, smart pillows, and smart bed belts.

Most people have been exposed to wearable sleep monitoring devices, such as smart watches and smart bracelets, but is it really comfortable to wear a watch/band to sleep at night? Wearable monitoring devices can affect sleep quality to some extent, and non-wearable sleep monitoring devices are more comfortable.

There are roughly three categories of non-wearable sleep monitoring devices: first, bar sleep trackers laid on the bed; second, smart mattresses; third, sleep monitors placed at the head of the bed. These monitoring products can also be used with some peripheral hardware to improve data accuracy and experience a more comprehensive smart life.

Sleep trackers are generally sleep monitoring devices that are placed on the bed or under the pillow. It does not need to be worn. It has a belt-like strip structure with more built-in sensors to count the data of each turn more accurately. It can also measure the user’s heart rate and breathing rate. These data will be synchronized in the mobile phone, and a sleep quality report will be obtained through a certain calculation method.

Plus1Health has a bar sleep tracker on the bed, which can monitor human respiration, heart rate and sleep status in real time. Remote real-time viewing, receiving early warning messages and sleep report pushes.

The choice of health monitoring equipment for the elderly should mainly consider the principle of practicality, and must have the following functions:

1. Heart rate detection

Selecting an intelligent monitoring device that can realize 24-hour heart rate detection plays a relatively effective role in detecting abnormal heart rate of the elderly. The 24-hour heart rate detection can capture abnormal conditions such as fast/slow heart rate, arrhythmia, etc.,and detect potential health problems in time, and prevent risks that affect life and health.

2. Sleep quality detection

Sleep detection is currently a must-have function on many smart monitoring devices, because the detection of sleep depth is mainly measured by the amount of exercise during sleep, but not all smart monitoring devices can detect sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is mainly achieved through photoelectric heart rate detection. Intelligent monitoring equipment with this function will automatically detect the user’s blood oxygen concentration during sleep at night to determine whether abnormal breathing occurs during sleep.

Sleep apnea is more common in middle-aged obese people, and it can cause serious damage to the human body, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, etc., they can increasing the risk of stroke in the middle-aged and elderly. Therefore, when purchasing intelligent monitoring equipment for the elderly, priority should be given to those with respiratory arrest detection function.

3. Can pay attention to the health data of family members

For most elderly people, it is difficult to use intelligent monitoring equipment to master their own health. Therefore, the intelligent monitoring equipment for the elderly must have a data sharing function, so that children can always pay attention to the health situation of the elderly. At present, most of the devices on the market mainly focus on the sports community, and the sports data needs to be actively shared by users every time to see it. There are relatively few data that can be bound to the shared data of relatives. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to the software corresponding to the device which must be able to share family health data.

The sleep recorder of Plus1Health is equipped with the “TiNew” applet, which can be matched with most brands of mobile phones and models. By following the “TiNew” public account, you can understand the health of your family members in real time, and enhance the relationship between family members.

At the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, the smart bed ushered in a highlight moment. In the vlog shot by the American bobsleigh athletes, the smart bed in the Winter Olympic Village can adjust the angle of the head of the bed and the end of the bed through the remote control, and switch between various rest modes: the TV mode is adjusted to the sofa state, and the reading mode turns the bed into a computer chair in seconds… Picture With one turn, the bed becomes a “zero gravity” state again. The video has received numerous likes in just a few days, and the smart bed in the picture has also become an Internet celebrity bed that people all over the world want to buy.

According to ergonomic principles and big data, the smart bed calculates the angle that fits the scene of use and the human body, designs six intelligent modes, and makes a reasonable design, which can also be customized and adjusted according to each person’s comfort angle, one-key memory,and achieve comfort and healthy experience.

Stress relief mode:Elieve fatigue and relax the calves. It is suitable for the mode after sitting or standing for a long time, which helps blood return and promotes circulation.

Zero Gravity Mode: Knees at the same level as the heart, reducing the pressure on the spine. After the angle is reached, the head and feet are slightly raised, and the body is very relaxed.

Reading mode: Support waist and legs, healthy reading. Physical activity is relatively free, and the upper arm can also be better supported to ensure eye health.

Movie viewing mode:Protect the waist and enjoy life. Half seated, it feels a bit like a sofa, and the field of view is flush with the TV or projector. For the elderly, it is also helpful for getting out of bed.

Deep sleep mode: Which fits the seven zones of the human body and prolongs the deep sleep time. The support of each part is relatively strong, which fits the curve of the human body, and the whole person is in a state of extreme relaxation.

Anti-snoring mode: By adjusting the height of the head and neck, the nasal cavity and the chest cavity are on the same level, reducing snoring and making breathing more smoothly.

In addition to the six smart modes, the smart bed has other functions:

Lifting massage function: Fit the back support, fit the body better, relieve physical fatigue, and enhance the level of physical fitness;

Automatically adjust the hardness or softness: It can automatically adjust the hardness or softness according to your personal sleeping habits and preferences;

Sleep monitoring: It can detect the heart rate and breathing rate, and monitor it in real time through the mobile phone. According to the data, you can monitor your physical condition and make adjustments in time;

Other functions: Some smart mattresses have a heating effect, and the data obtained from a series of monitoring of the thermostatic blanket allows the blanket to intelligently adjust the temperature to create a sleeping environment with a suitable temperature. It can also help users set alarm clocks, provide music, automatically turn off lights, control mobile applications and connect to other smart furniture supporting services.

Plus1Health has smart bed and smart mattress solution which development to help traditional furniture companies quickly create smart sleep products.
