Aging will give birth to the 10 billion-level pension market Remote monitoring prospects are the best

In 2017, Pillo, a Boston-based health technology company, developed a home robot for the elderly, sitting on a kitchen table, greeting her family and friendlyly hinting at the time of medication.
, another early-stage technology company, is working on wireless headsets. Its wireless headphones feature automatic volume adjustment, allowing older people with hearing loss to train for hearing and watch movies.
Rendever, also based in Boston, is a VR start-up that takes the elderly to Africa's Serengeti savannah or Peru's Machu Picchu Inga fortress with immersive software and VR glasses to experience the natural charm of the exotic world.is a great opportunity for technology
these "help the old technology" companies are part of the Massachusetts high-tech enterprise group. They think about how to combine intellectual and technological advantages to solve an age-old problem: eliminating the burden of life for the elderly. Government and business leaders believe that emerging industries will become the new engine of the country's economic growth and will bring benefits to older industries.
recently, ge and MIT AgeLab and other technology helper alliances and the Massachusetts government, opened a global innovation challenge, looking for new ideas for technology to help the old. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said it was a "big opportunity." "We need to look at getting old from a new perspective."
is an unconventional economic development model that focuses on the growing population through "niche technology". Although these people have disposable income, but far away from their loved ones, relatives can not provide health care in the first place.
an opportunity to become a real laboratory and bring a culture of innovation to addressing ageing," said Coughlin, director of MIT AgeLab, a research group. " aging creates a billion-level market
longevity also brings age and ageing problems, which will also give birth to the U.S. 10 billion-level pension industry. This market is highly segmented, with GE and Philips dominating areas such as medical devices, while many other start-ups cover the development of "smart" thermostats ranging from video doorbells to voice activation.
market segment of the pension industry is remote patient monitoring, which is expected to receive $2 billion in compensation from health insurers this year, according to IDC, a technology research firm. Other areas that are expanding rapidly include "personal feedback systems" (to prevent accidental falls and injuries in older persons), and "drug compliance" monitoring techniques (to ensure that medication is taken at the right time and dose).
, e-commerce giant Amazon bought the online pharmacy PillPack for $1 billion. This has also attracted attention to the technology of helping the elderly.
, Medicare will also cover the cost of remote monitoring of elderly patients. However, emerging technologies are mostly consumer products, mostly purchased by adult children for their parents.
these techniques will help children get away with the little dilemma of often asking, "Should you take your medicine?" Many older tech companies are inspired by the woes of their lives. Pillo's idea comes from the personal experience of its CEO, Emanuele Musini, who often doesn't take his medication on time or follow a health care plan because his loved ones aren't around.
not everyone is bullish on helping older technology companies. Alexandra Suchman, a management consultant in Washington, says there is a lot of medical equipment on the market, but she is concerned that many are too complex for older people to use. And she doesn't think it will replace face-to-face communication. "Technology boasts that it's impossible for a robot or a piece of code to solve all the problems. Humans need the true emotional feedback of others.government companies are "helping old technology" to flourish
technology and the market boom has allowed companies like GE to be confident about market potential, but Ger Brophy, director of cell therapy at GE Health Life Sciences, said: "The market service is not yet in place. "That's one of the reasons they launched the Innovation Challenge.
to take part in the Innovation Challenge, you have until September 28 to submit your own BP, and the most creative companies or inventors will be rewarded with $5,000 per person. More importantly, they will be supported by GE Health Technologies, and GE will test products with commercial potential. Massachusetts has become a base for testing various "help-for-age technology" companies. (Health)
