Forum session
In the 789 Public Welfare Design Forum for Old-age Products, entrepreneurs and designers for the aged are doing research on the current aged home market. The forum was hosted by Luo Huijun, editor-in-chief of Netease Home East China.
Wang Chen, the project design consultant/founder of Shishengfufu, responded to the question of "beauty and practicality" of the old furniture, saying that "at present, we really face the contradiction that the old furniture is not beautiful and the beautiful furniture is not suitable for the old. What moved me particularly today is that so many college teachers and college students are willing to study and design the old furniture, and the furniture design still needs a lot of research. We still have a lot of basic theoretical research to build to better promote the development of the old-age care cause in China."
ankangtong holding co., ltd., as the largest pension service enterprise in China, has served more than 2 million domestic elderly users at home and in the community. Zhu Wei, CEO, said, "First, the old-age care industry in China has not fully entered the market competition, and the elderly are basically at a stage of low consumption ability and willingness. How to develop aging products according to local conditions is a challenge for every old-age home enterprise. Second, for newly developed buildings, there is a strong demand for aging-resistant design schemes, but the price of aging-resistant products is still high. Third, there is no closed loop in the entire pension industry chain. From scholars' research, design and production, retail and service, there is no synergy and lack of communication. I hope that with the integration of resources of Dream Fund and Red Star Macalline, some China pension difficulties can be solved. "
Lin zhumin, vice president of Jiumu Commercial Technology Co., Ltd. said, "Jiumu has a positive insight into the development trend of the old-age care industry and laid out space solutions suitable for aging. Here, we also hope to use this platform to connect more responsible enterprises and institutions, and care for the health of the elderly based on public health. Jiumu's customized solution for the elderly-Furui Kangyang Suite, focusing on the three key words of' health, intelligence and humanity'. Under the premise of ensuring health, it is more convenient to assist the elderly with mobility difficulties to wash and go to the toilet through the implantation of some intelligent modules. Through the bio-intelligent urine test machine, 9 urine test indicators can be output to achieve medical-grade technical testing. "
Deere, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hanyu Group, is committed to developing and producing high-tech products for human intestinal health. At present, its main product is Deere hydrotherapy toilet with the function of "non-contact intestinal hydrotherapy". Mr. Lin Zhuorong, general manager of Deere's large customer division, said, "It is said that enterprises are profit-seeking, but caring for the elderly, if done without dreams and missions, will have great resistance to the whole industry. Colleges and universities have academic research advantages, and enterprises have practical experience and production R&D advantages. We need a project platform like Dream Fund to integrate resources and work together to achieve the mission of serving the elderly. "
Jiurucheng Group is an integrated operator of health care services integrating medicine, health care, nursing, teaching, research and travel. Qi Yisong, manager of aging design, said, "We are really faced with the dilemma of not selecting good aging furniture products in the market. We have visited all kinds of old-age exhibitions and furniture exhibitions, and products that meet the aging needs are rare. Therefore, Jiurucheng also began to try to make customized products and develop products, but there is still a lot to go. I'm looking forward to the products jointly designed by Dream Fund and universities appearing in the product supply warehouse of Jiurucheng. "
Mr. Wu Ningkai, senior design director of Red Star Macalline Decoration Industry Group, said: First of all, we should transform the concept of design into a concept accepted by the whole people, and combine the aesthetic feeling of home design with the professionalism of recreational equipment. Strengthen the ergonomics and applicability of the spot, and its safety dimension should be designed with care like designing baby products. In view of many people's fear of entering nursing homes, we should solve their inner loneliness. For example, implant a visual care system for family members, provide an electronic chess platform, establish a color recognition system for life scenes, and create a comfortable space suitable for the old environment in multiple dimensions.
As the first leader and promoter in China focusing on the aging transformation industry, Langli Pension has transformed many years' experience in front-line pension services into the business sector of aging and livable. Ms. Liu Ying, the founder of Langli, said, "From the front-line service experience, it is still very difficult to adapt to the aging of the elderly. Sometimes the children pay the bill and the elderly think they don't need it. It's really difficult to choose suitable products suitable for aging. Some of them emphasize' intelligence' too much, and the price is high, so the elderly are very repulsive. Now we are also trying to break through the single product, developing some practical products, and serving the elderly is a matter of both righteousness and benefit, hoping to reach cooperation with the enterprises and universities present here.
