Facing The Challenge Of Aging Friendly Products, Aucma Launches Smart Washing Machines For The Elderly
According to the seventh national population census data, the population aged 60 and above in China accounts for 18.7% of the total population, and the population aged 65 and above accounts for 13.5%. Starting from the needs of the elderly, using technologies such as intelligence and the Internet of Things, researching the architecture model of intelligent home appliance systems suitable for the elderly can provide basic technical support and guidance for the development and design of assisted living systems suitable for the elderly.
But looking at the current smart home appliance market, many home appliance functions are somewhat inadequate in the eyes of most elderly people, which has stumped a large number of elderly people. On the one hand, there are few smart home appliances specifically developed for the elderly population on the market. On the other hand, those that are suitable for aging modification are limited to functions such as simple operation, emergency rescue, adaptation to the physiological characteristics of the elderly, or helping to improve their physical health.
In response to this pain point, Aucma is about to launch an intelligent washing machine specifically designed for the elderly, providing a more convenient and safe washing experience for the elderly at home.
Although many washing machines on the market have diverse functions and modes, the complex configuration of knobs and buttons is very unfriendly to the elderly. And this Aucma elderly intelligent washing machine is designed with simple operation as the design principle, targeting the characteristics and needs of the elderly. The panel design only has four clear buttons for start, pause, washing, and dehydration, as well as four large and obvious buttons and signs, allowing the elderly to easily grasp each step of operation. At the same time, it is also equipped with voice broadcasting, which can notify the elderly in a timely manner whether it is turned on, washing, or machine failure. Even if elders are not familiar with technological products, they can easily get started and enjoy the convenience brought by intelligent technology.
When buying home appliances, don't choose the best, but choose the most suitable one. Considering the physical condition of the elderly, it is advisable to minimize their bending movements and reduce their burden. This washing machine is specially designed for the elderly population with appropriate height and tilt angle, allowing them to handle clothes without bending over too much, making it more convenient to use.
The two national standards for elderly home appliances, GB/T 40439-2021 and GB/T 40443-2021, which are the architecture model of intelligent home appliance systems for elderly living assistance, have been implemented since March 1, 2022. Industry experts say that currently, elderly home appliances are still in their early stages, and some companies are adding features suitable for the elderly to their existing products, but this is still just an attempt. The construction of the standard system for elderly friendly home appliances has begun planning, and relevant technical requirements for elderly friendly home appliance products will be released gradually. Multiple standards for elderly friendly household appliances will be introduced in three to five years.
