Elderly healthcare is No Longer Difficult

HONG KONG, Mar 07, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - EC Healthcare and ClinicONE jointly launched the intelligent remote health management platform Health.Me2 today. Through IoT cloud technology with A.I. medical analysis and professional medical teams, users' health status can be monitored and evaluated remotely. The platform will notify users and follow up when the system finds abnormal health values or potential health risks. Users can view the elderly's health records anytime and anywhere through the app. The R&D team hopes the technology can support busy urbanites to take care of elders more efficiently.

According to a survey conducted by a local online media HK01 in July of last year, more than 80% of the elderly respondents prefer to receive community care. Some studies have shown that community care is effective in preventing the deterioration of physical functions of the elderly due to premature admission to residential care. Besides, community care can save a considerable number of residential care costs. A three-hour private home care service costs more than a thousand Hong Kong dollars. In addition, environmental change may cause psychological stress on the elderly. Community care allows the elderly to stay connected with family and friends, which helps to maintain mental and social health.

Along the onslaught of the fifth wave, outpatient services in hospitals and clinics were affected. Caregivers who live together or separately have undue hardship in providing professional medical support to the elderly.
