Nursing home fire revelation: How security technology can protect the elderly
Direct news: At around 20:00 on May 25, a fire broke out in an elderly rehabilitation center in Sanlihe Village, Xiqintai Office, Lushan County, Henan Province, killing 38 people. According to CCTV investigation reports, the number of residents in the nursing home is about 130. The fire area is an area where the elderly cannot take care of themselves, and the elderly have difficulty moving. Many wheelchair iron frames could be seen at the scene, and the entire dormitory was burned into empty iron frames. According to China News Service, the houses that caught fire were all iron sheet houses. The wall interlayers of these iron sheet houses are mostly filled with foam boards. They are commonly known as "iron sheet foam houses" and are easy to burn.
Affected by changes in national policies and concepts, my country's population has entered an aging stage. According to statistics, China's elderly population has reached about 160 million, accounting for 12% of the national population. The current situation of 421 families has caused many young people to send their elderly people away or the elderly people voluntarily choose to live in nursing homes. The demand has increased significantly, and the number of nursing home institutions has also skyrocketed. According to statistics, the number of beds in elderly care institutions across the country currently reaches 4.937 million, with an average of 24.4 beds per 1,000 elderly people. While the number of nursing homes has increased significantly, their safety has also been controversial. The fire incident in the nursing home in Henan has sounded the alarm for us. When sending the elderly to nursing homes, what kind of technical protection should be given to the elderly?
Video Surveillance
Install video surveillance in a nursing home, and achieve full coverage of the internal environment, real-time and around-the-clock monitoring, adding an extra layer of protection to ensure the safety of the elderly. On the one hand, it effectively prevents caregivers from abusing the elderly and standardizes the management of the nursing home; on the other hand, it also monitors the safety of the activities of the elderly, so that if an emergency occurs, it can be discovered and dealt with in time.
Alarm
As a vulnerable group, the elderly's physical condition is not as good as before, and their legs and feet are even more inconvenient. Therefore, when encountering an emergency, it is difficult for them to save themselves and they can only notify caregivers in time through alarms. In this way, alarm has become the number one tool for the elderly to escape danger. In addition, in order to avoid the difficulty of ensuring timely call for treatment when the elderly become ill, there are currently wireless alarm calling system products for the elderly on the market. When the elderly encounter an emergency, they only need to press the pager button to play a high-volume alarm sound to notify family members. It can also achieve ultra-long-distance voice calls, understand the elderly's condition at any time, and notify family members, guardians or call centers of the elderly's condition as soon as possible.
Real-time positioning
Real-time positioning is particularly important for finding the location where an elderly person encounters an emergency as soon as possible. It can not only prevent the elderly from being lost, but also ensure timely rescue when the elderly are in danger.When an emergency alarm is encountered, real-time linkage between the positioning system and the video surveillance system is realized. When the linkage occurs, the camera screen automatically pops up. The central control room personnel can take emergency plans based on the picture situation at that time, avoiding losses caused by untimely processing. Especially when the elderly encounter an emergency, they can use the emergency button on the elderly location card to alert them and implement emergency alarms as soon as possible.
Portable smart hardware
At present, in order to further protect the safety of the elderly when they go out, more and more portable smart hardware are being developed and applied, among which multi-function watches are particularly prominent. These smart terminals can not only monitor the whereabouts of the elderly in real time, but also customize a large number of special functions for the safety and health monitoring of the elderly. Through a series of body indicators of the elderly, Target monitoring is used to measure the physical condition of the elderly. Its detection indicators cover weight, blood pressure, blood oxygen, pulse rate, body temperature, ECG, heart rate, cardiovascular, fat and other aspects. The detection data is uploaded to the monitoring center through the network through the detection equipment. Once an abnormality occurs, the monitoring center can take immediate action.
Internet of Things Healthcare
The emergence of IoT medical treatment has made up for the shortage of nursing staff in nursing homes. Internet of Things medical applies the technology of the Internet of Things to the medical industry, using RFID, sensors, QR codes, etc. to obtain drug or medical device information anytime and anywhere. It integrates wired or wireless networks with the Internet to accurately transmit product information in a timely manner, and then uses cloud computing systems to analyze and process massive amounts of information to achieve intelligent control and management of products. While improving the work efficiency of medical staff, it also avoids medical errors and ultimately ensures the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment for the elderly.
