Description

Elderly care service system including elderly people and dementia patients

The present invention relates to a care service system for the elderly and those with dementia, and more specifically, the service provider relays voice or text communication between the service users, the protected (elderly, dementia patients, etc.) and their guardians (children, family members, etc.). It relates to a care service system for the elderly and the elderly, including dementia patients, that allows guardians to manage the daily life and diseases of the protected periodically or frequently from a remote location.

The number of people aged 65 or older announced in 2022 amounts to 18% of the total population, and this is continuously increasing. The estimated number of dementia patients is 886,000, showing a prevalence of about 10%, and is expected to reach 3 million in 2050. It is becoming.

On the other hand, as the opinion of families to support their parents continues to decrease from 33.2% in 2012 to 22% in 2020, management technology for automated schedule management and cognitive ability improvement for the increasing number of elderly and dementia patients is required.

In particular, in the population over 65 years of age, the dementia induction rate reaches 10%, and even if not diagnosed with dementia, although the degree varies, many people suffer from mild decline in cognitive ability and problems with schedule management as a result.

In this way, due to the nuclear family and aging society in general, the number of elderly people living alone is gradually increasing. Even if an unexpected emergency or personal problem occurs, elderly people living alone are gradually increasing. In general, there is no way to immediately recognize the current status, and the need for welfare for the elderly and the establishment of a social safety net for the vulnerable is emerging.

To solve these problems, the central government or local governments usually operate separate welfare institutions and provide care services for the elderly living alone, and have social workers and volunteers make regular visits or phone calls to check on their well-being. Welfare policies, etc. are being implemented.

However, it is difficult to operate realistically due to limited welfare budget and lack of manpower for social workers and volunteers to continuously provide assistance to all senior citizens living alone in their respective areas 24 hours a day.

In addition, in the case of safety management processes such as phone safety checks, there are temporal and spatial limitations, making it difficult to constantly monitor emergencies or personal abnormalities of seniors living alone, making it difficult to quickly check for personal abnormalities. The vulnerability of the social safety net for the elderly living alone and lonely deaths are becoming a social problem, with the bodies of elderly people living alone being discovered after being left unattended for a long time.

Meanwhile, among the elderly living alone, the government's welfare policy as mentioned above is highly recommended for those who live alone without children or family. However, in the case of elderly people living alone with children or family members, they tend to be reluctant to hire social workers or volunteers, so they do not care about their children. There are many cases of dependence.

However, while children of elderly people living alone live independently and run their own families, their hearts are always directed towards their parents who live alone due to economic activities and personal affairs. However, in a situation where they have to engage in busy economic activities every day, in reality, the elderly people living alone, that is, their parents, The reality is that there is no choice but to be negligent in care, and this results in psychological regret and anxiety.

In order to solve the above problems, various solutions have recently been proposed that utilize IT technology to continuously monitor the activity status or physical abnormalities of elderly people living alone from a remote location.

In the prior art, an application according to permissions is installed on a mobile terminal owned by a user who needs monitoring, such as an elderly person living alone, and on the mobile terminal of the guardian, and the guardian's mobile terminal sends a predetermined notification message at a certain period to the user's mobile terminal. It is sent to and a response message is received by the user who has confirmed the notification message.

However, the above-mentioned conventional technology requires installing an application to run the service on the mobile terminal of the elderly person living alone, that is, the parent, and running it to use it, so the main ward, the elderly over 65 years old or those suffering from cognitive problems, can use the service. It is difficult to use them.
