IBM uses three "specialized" to reflect the concern of the elderly. On December 8, IBM Research announced that with the help of Rice University, it has created an IBM multi-purpose prototype robot for the elderly.
As we all know, China has entered an aging society. It is understood that by the end of 2014, the number of elderly people aged 60 and over in the country reached 212 million, more than 15% of the total population. According to UN reports, by 2030, the global population over the age of 60 will increase by 56% year-on-year. The problem that has become more prominent with the aging of the world is the health care of the elderly.
On December 8, IBM Research announced that with the help of Rice University, it has created an IBM multi-purpose prototype robot for the elderly. The robot, called IBM MERA, is a Watson-enabled app designed to help the elderly and their caregivers.
IBM's attention to the elderly and elderly caregivers can be seen in the following three "specialized":
Specially set up a department
IBM Research has set up a “Regional Ageing†environmental department in its Austin, Texas, laboratory that aims to mimic the types of interactions that older people may have at home. IBM researchers believe that with the development of IBM MERA, the Internet of Things and other cognitive power technologies, they can study the data of atmospheric, motion, drop, audio and olfactory sensors and serve them to caregivers, based on external Nursing staff can provide preventive health care initiatives when physical conditions or environmental changes occur.
Arvind Krishna, senior vice president of IBM's research department, said in a statement: "It's time to invest, care, protect and empower older people to live independently." "Our further research on personal cognition ,embodied cogniTIon, which combines real-time data generated by sensors with cognitive computing), with a focus on providing clinicians and caregivers with effective advice to help them provide care for each patient."
Specially built a robot
IBM MERA is also part of the "Aging of the Ages" environment, and its prototype was created by students and teachers at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the School of Psychology at Rice University. It is mainly used in these three aspects:
• Study new methods for measuring individual vital signs, such as heart rate, heart rate variability, and respiratory rate.
· Answer basic health related questions.
• Determine whether the individual has fallen by reading the data from the accelerometer.
Specialized with medical service providers
MERA runs on the IBM Cloud and Softbank Pepper robot interfaces, using Watson technology and CameraVitals, a technology designed by Rice University, to calculate vital sign data based on recorded face video. These technologies allow MERA to quickly and non-invasively obtain patient heart and respiratory data and monitor it multiple times per day. Combined with the IBM Watson speech recognition, speech synthesis, and natural application programming interface, the camera can also determine if the patient has fallen and send the information to the caregiver.
IBM Research plans to work with Sole CooperaTIva, a third-party medical service provider in Italy, to equip senior homes with sensors to collect daily activity data for residents. That is, through the Internet of Things and IBM cognitive computing technology to identify abnormal data in physical conditions or environment, and to send continuously changing environmental data to the caregiver.
For example, by monitoring atmospheric parameters such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, Sole can use IBM technology to determine where they are in the room and how long they stay in the room; then through the cognitive system, learn what the life of the residents looks like (for example, When do you get up, sleep, or when to eat?) Coupled with the integration of data from other sources, including traditional databases and a steady stream of sensor data, Sole has an overall understanding of the living conditions of its residents.
Roberta Massi, president of Sole CooperaTIva, said: "This new system is designed to ensure that our residents live independently and healthily for as long as possible." "By better understanding of one's daily life and environment, we can identify this People may have the risk of implementing personalized care and providing accurate life advice to improve his quality of life."
