An eCare boost for the elderly in China: telemedicine, SOS button
- Monday | 12th August, 2019
“China’s market for elderly care is huge, but services in the industry are fragmented,” CEO Li Libo told Reuters in an interview at his company’s headquarters in Weifang city. Liu, 66, a native of Jinan, Shandong’s capital, knows how hard taking care of the elderly can be. The central government provided almost 22 million yuan ($3 million) in subsidies for Lanchuang’s smart platform and the Shandong provincial government has given 3 million yuan. Wang, who sits on the National Advisory Committee on Smart Elderly Care, has since managed to make inroads into two Beijing districts, with talks underway with three others. She was also unaware the red button on her handheld control had an SOS function.
