[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment: a multifunctional smart cane, including a handle 1, a one-button emergency call unit 2 at the bottom of the handle 1, a cane telescopic sleeve 5 above the one-button emergency call unit 2, a cane telescopic rod 7 at the bottom of the cane telescopic sleeve 5, an anti-slip pad 8 at the bottom of the cane telescopic rod 7, red light strips 10 and yellow light strips 11 on the left and right sides of the cane telescopic sleeve 5, a sensor monitoring panel 15 at the top of the handle 1, a medicine box storage slot 18 on one side of the handle 1, an emergency medicine box 20 inside the medicine box storage slot 18, a fixing hole 12 on one side of the cane telescopic sleeve 5, an adjusting ball 13 inserted into and passing through the fixing hole 12 on one side of the cane telescopic rod 7, and a GPS locator inside the cane telescopic rod 7.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, a connecting cylinder 3 is provided between the one-button emergency call unit 2 and the cane telescopic sleeve 5. The front end of the one-button emergency call unit 2 is provided with three buttons 14. A movable slot 25 is provided on one side of the one-button emergency call unit 2. Reflective stickers 4 are provided on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the cane telescopic sleeve 5. The rear end of the reflective sticker 4 is coated with glue and is glued to the outer surface of the cane telescopic sleeve 5. A tightening lock 6 is sleeved between the cane telescopic sleeve 5 and the cane telescopic rod 7. The outer surface of the tightening lock 6 is provided with multiple evenly arranged anti-slip protrusions. Through the sensor monitoring panel 15 above the handle 1, blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation are monitored by sensor technology. When the elderly hold the handle 1, the values ​​of blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation will be sent to the mobile phones of the elderly and close relatives in real time. An alarm for abnormal indicators can be set. When blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation are abnormal, an alarm will be set to the mobile phones of the elderly and close relatives in a timely manner to remind them.

[0026] Please see Figures 4-6In this embodiment, anti-slip pads 9 are fixedly installed on the three ends of the lower end face of the anti-slip pad 8. The anti-slip pads 9 and the anti-slip pads 8 are made of rubber and are integrated. A power indicator light 16 is provided on the surface of the upper end face of the handle 1. A charging port 17 is provided on one side of the power indicator light 16 and located on the upper end face of the handle 1.

The one-button emergency call unit 2 below the handle 1 is distinguished by different colors. In case of emergency, it can call the emergency number or close relatives with one button.

[0027] During operation, the sensor monitoring panel 15 above the handle 1 monitors blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation using sensor technology. When the elderly person holds the handle 1, the values ​​of blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation are sent to their own and their close relatives' mobile phones in real time. Alarms for abnormal indicators can be set; when blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation become abnormal, an alarm will be promptly sent to the elderly person's and their close relatives' mobile phones to provide reminders. A GPS locator is embedded inside the cane's telescopic extension bar 7, which can send its location to close relatives' mobile phones in real time, allowing them to monitor the elderly person's location at any time. If the elderly person deviates from the preset route, an alarm will be sent to their close relatives' mobile phones, who can then contact the elderly person to remind them and prevent them from getting lost. A one-button emergency call unit 2 below the handle 1, distinguished by different colors, allows for one-button access to emergency numbers in case of an emergency. Or close relatives; the cane telescopic sleeve 5 and the cane telescopic rod 7 are respectively embedded with red light strips 10 and yellow light strips 11 on the left and right sides. When the elderly cross the road, especially at night or in rainy or snowy weather when visibility is poor, they can turn on the red and yellow warning light strips to remind vehicles and pedestrians to give way; the handle 1 is embedded with an emergency medicine box 20, which can hold personalized emergency medicines such as nitroglycerin and quick-acting heart pills. The medicine expiration date and instructions are marked, and the voice prompts the timing, usage, and dosage of the medicine, so that timely treatment can be obtained in case of emergency; through the height-adjustable mechanism between the cane telescopic rod 7 and the cane telescopic sleeve 5, the height can be adjusted up and down according to the height of the elderly by using the adjustment ball 13 and the fixing hole 12. The anti-slip foot pads 8 at the bottom improve the stability of the cane.

[0028] Through the above steps, a sensor monitoring panel 15 is set above the handle 1 to monitor the elderly’s blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation in real time. At the same time, the values ​​can be updated and sent to relatives’ mobile phones in real time, which improves the monitoring of the elderly’s vital signs and solves the problem that the existing canes have only single functions, which can only help with movement and prevent falls, and cannot effectively meet the diverse travel and health needs of the elderly.
