[0053] In some embodiments, the intelligent elderly care monitoring system further includes an intelligent medication device, which is set on the wearable device and is used to store medicines and remind the user to take medicine according to a preset time. For example, the intelligent medication device may include a medicine box for storing medicines. For example, the medicine box can be a multi-compartment medicine box for storing the medicines to be taken each time respectively. Each compartment is opened one by one to prevent the user from missing or taking too many medicines. For example, the intelligent medication device may further include a control unit and a weight sensor. The weight sensor is used to detect the weight in the medicine box, and judge whether there is medicine in the medicine box through the change in weight. When there is no medicine in the medicine box, it can remind the user to replenish the medicine. For example, the intelligent medication device may further include a prompting device. The user sets the time to take medicine in advance, and the control unit controls the prompting device to remind the user to take medicine after judging the preset time. For example, the prompting device can be a speaker to remind the user to take medicine through voice, for example, the prompting device can be an indicator light to remind the user to take medicine by emitting light, for example, the indicating device is a display screen to remind the user to take medicine by displaying reminder information on the display screen. For example, the intelligent medication device may further include an opening button. When the user presses the opening button, the compartment of the medicine box containing the currently prescribed medicine automatically opens, which can help the user take the medicine correctly.
[0054] In some embodiments, the intelligent elderly care monitoring system further includes an intelligent dinner plate, and the intelligent dinner plate includes:
[0055] A dinner plate body;
[0056] Multiple food compartments are formed on the upper surface of the dinner plate body, and the food compartments are used for holding food;
[0057] Electronic scales, the number of which is the same as that of the food compartments, are arranged inside the dinner plate body and are located below the food compartments;
[0058] A first control unit is arranged inside the dinner plate body and is electrically connected to the electronic scales, and is used to obtain the weight values measured by the electronic scales;
[0059] A second wireless communication module is arranged inside the dinner plate body and is electrically connected to the first control unit, and is used to be wirelessly communicatively connected to the backend monitoring platform and send the weight values to the backend monitoring platform.
[0060] It should be understood that users use the dinner plate to hold food and have meals. An electronic scale is provided in the dinner plate. Each electronic scale can weigh the food in the food compartment. The first control unit obtains the weight values measured by each electronic scale and sends them to the backend monitoring platform through the second wireless communication module. The backend monitoring platform can analyze the user's nutritional intake based on the weight change values in the food compartments and provide nutritional advice. When the nutritional intake is not good, it will remind the user's family members or community service personnel through the gateway. For example, it judges whether the weight change value in each food compartment is too large or too small. If the weight change value in a certain food compartment is less than a preset threshold, it can be judged that the user's nutritional intake is unbalanced, and the user's family members or community service personnel will be reminded.
[0061] Among them, the first control unit can be a controller, such as a CPU, MCU, etc. The second wireless communication device can be a Wi-Fi module, 5G module, 4G module, NB module, wireless data transmission module, Bluetooth module or other wireless communication modules.
[0062] In some embodiments, a food type identifier is provided on each food compartment. The food type identifier includes vegetables, meat and / or staple foods.
[0063] When the user holds food, he holds it according to the food type identifier. The electronic scale can weigh the weights of vegetables, meat and staple foods respectively. The first control unit obtains the weights of vegetables, meat and staple foods and sends them to the backend monitoring platform through the second wireless communication module. The backend monitoring platform calculates the intake of vegetables, meat, staple foods, etc. based on the weight changes of different types of food of the user, analyzes whether the user has insufficient intake of vegetables, meat, staple foods, etc., and gives a reminder when the intake is insufficient.
[0064] In some embodiments, the intelligent elderly care monitoring system further includes an intelligent nutrition scale, including:
[0065] A nutrition scale body for weighing the weight of food;
[0066] A camera device for identifying the food type;
[0067] A second control unit is arranged in the nutrition scale body, electrically connected to the nutrition scale body, electrically connected and / or communicatively connected to the camera device, and is used to obtain the food weight and food type;
[0068] A third wireless communication module is arranged in the nutrition scale body, electrically connected to the second control unit, and is used for wireless communication connection with the backend monitoring platform and sending the food weight and food type to the backend monitoring platform.
[0069] The intelligent nutrition scale can weigh food and identify food types. Weigh the food weight through the nutrition scale; by setting a camera device on the intelligent nutrition scale, take pictures of the food to identify the food type. The camera device can be set on the nutrition scale and automatically take pictures when the nutrition scale is weighing. The camera device can also be independent of the nutrition scale and be controlled by the user to take pictures of the food.
[0070] Exemplarily, the intelligent nutrition scale can be used when the user has a snack, such as when the user eats fruits or snacks. Obtain the food type and food weight through the intelligent nutrition scale, analyze the food calories based on the food type and food weight, judge whether to eat in combination with the physical condition, and can be analyzed and recorded by the backend monitoring platform.
[0071] It should be understood that after the backend monitoring platform obtains the food type and food weight, it can calculate the food calories, and then combine the user's physical state, such as whether the user is obese or has diseases such as high blood sugar, or combine the user's daily nutritional intake situation to analyze whether the food is suitable for the user to eat. For example, if the user's calorie intake has reached the standard on the same day, it is not recommended for the user to intake some high-calorie foods. For example, if the user has high blood sugar, it is not recommended to eat some foods with a high glycemic index. Suggestions and reminders can be given to the user through wearable devices, or suggestions and reminders can be given to the user through the intelligent nutrition scale. For example, the intelligent nutrition scale can be provided with indicator lights, a display screen or a speaker, and suggestions are provided for the user through the display of the indicator lights and the display screen or the voice prompt of the speaker.
[0072] In some embodiments, the intelligent nutrition scale can further include an indicator light. The second control unit obtains the food weight and food type and sends them to the backend monitoring platform through the third wireless communication module. The backend monitoring platform will analyze whether the food is suitable for the user to eat. When it is not suitable for the user to eat, for example, there is a rejection reaction between the food and the medicine taken by the user or the food is a food that the user avoids, the user is prompted through the indicator light. For example, the indicator light turns red and flashes to prompt the user that the food is not suitable for eating.
[0073] In some embodiments, the wearable device is an intelligent bracelet.
