Hongqiao Subdistrict Silver-Haired Life Carnival: Exoskeleton Robots and Other Smart Elderly-Care Products Come to the Community

Experience exoskeleton robots, consult on home care policies, and check in at the Silver-Age Influencers Showcase... Recently, the "15-Minute Convenient Living Market and Silver-Age Life Carnival" event in Hongqiao Subdistrict, Changning District, was held on Golden City Road Pedestrian Street. This event is one of the "Coolest Changning · Fashion Six Seasons" series of activities, with the theme "@Coolest Block, Enjoy Blooming Youth," closely tied to the construction of the "15-minute convenient living circle," striving to create a distinctive silver economy block and bring various convenient elderly care services to residents' doorsteps. This event adopts a model of government setting the stage and society participating, gathering diverse content such as smart elderly care promotion, public welfare convenient services, age-friendly product experiences, and senior cultural displays, effectively connecting offline services with consumption, enriching the service resources residents can access nearby, and building a platform for various brands to enter the community, achieving a two-way gain of benefiting people's livelihoods and promoting consumption. The event site featured three distinctive scenes: the Silver-Age Market, the Silver-Age Managers Exhibition, and the Silver-Age Store Pop-up, using technology to empower smart elderly care and attracting many community residents to participate. The Silver-Age Market in the sunken plaza was bustling with popularity, with more than 20 elderly care service providers, sci-tech innovation enterprises, and regional cultural tourism brands setting up booths. Elderly care policy interpretation, age-friendly product experiences, family doctor free clinics, health and wellness tourism promotions, and convenient living services were provided in a one-stop manner. Exoskeleton robots and intelligent companion robots became popular experience items for the elderly. Many citizens came specially to the site to consult on practical issues such as elderly care service vouchers, home visit care, and admission to elderly care institutions. The event truly addressed the worries and troubles in people's elderly care lives, promoting the transformation from "elderly care" to "enjoying old age." The site also displayed the stories of more than ten Changning "Silver-Age Managers." Among them are public welfare volunteers who care for neighbors, seniors who navigate digital life and embrace smart technology, and senior cultural experts deeply engaged in literary and artistic creation. The exhibition, rich with both pictures and text, shows the spiritual outlook of seniors who are willing to contribute, embrace new knowledge, and love life, outlining a colorful picture of happy elderly care that moved many visiting residents. The Silver-Age Store pop-up booth, created by Hongqiao Subdistrict in collaboration with Shanghai Tianyu Smart Elderly Care Service Co., Ltd., was also crowded with people. Centered on the actual needs of home-based elderly care, three service solutions were brought on site: age-friendly renovation, smart home safety, and door-to-door home care. Smart elderly care products such as the emotional companion robot "Xiao Yu Tongxue," the "Wenwen Da Weishi" that uses millimeter-wave radar to identify fall risks, and the bathroom posture recognition radar "Bubu An" were unveiled one by one. Staff carefully explained product functions and home usage scenarios to the elderly and their families, allowing smart age-friendly products to step out of exhibition halls and into communities, safeguarding home safety and improving the quality of life in later years. At the market, many children accompanied their parents to check in, experience smart devices, and select age-friendly goods; beyond convenient services, warm family affection flowed everywhere. Exhibiting companies also used the market as a window to listen closely to the real needs of the elderly group, thereby optimizing and iterating products and services and further unleashing the potential of silver consumption. In the future, Hongqiao Subdistrict will continue to focus on residents' urgent difficulties and worries, continuously expand smart elderly care application scenarios, integrate resources from multiple parties, and launch more down-to-earth and warm silver economy themed activities. It will continue to improve the supply of convenient services, activate the vitality of silver consumption, build an age-friendly community for all ages, and effectively enhance residents' sense of gain, happiness, and security.
