Corona State of Emergency will focus on supplying communication robots to help elderly people who cannot meet their families

In response to the government's national emergency declaration by the new coronavirus, there are situations in which the elderly are mentally isolated, such as stopping their homecoming in Golden Week and restricting the access of their families to facilities for the elderly. In order to eliminate this situation, Trend Master Co., Ltd. (President, Atsushi Nakata / hereinafter, Trend Master), which plans, manufactures, and sells communication robots for the elderly, confirmed the psychological improvement effect on the elderly. It announced that it will supply its own communication robot in collaboration with welfare equipment distribution companies.

Supply period are three months from May to July XNUMX, emphasis in supply goods, Nade Nade Cat DX series (later of goods Overview XNUMX), Hello baby series (later of Description XNUMX), By setting up Nade-Nade Dog Akita dogs, etc. and delivering information in a focused manner in collaboration with welfare equipment distribution companies, a cooperation system is provided so that the communication robot of our company can be efficiently delivered to the elderly.

While it is very important to worry about coronavirus infection in the elderly and try to prevent it, it is also true that many uninfected elderly may be in psychological deterioration. Therefore, this priority supply is aimed at alleviating a lonely situation that has never existed for many elderly people.

According to a questionnaire on how to spend Golden Week in 2019 last year, 2020% spending time with family members and XNUMX% returning to their parents' homes, but in the case of XNUMX this year, the national emergency declaration by the new coronavirus and the strong self-restraint requests such as refraining from going outside, and many families abandon the idea of returning to their parents homes during Golden Week because of concerns about infection of the elderly. In addition, interviews with families who enter elderly facilities may require strong self-restraint at some facilities, and it is expected that a distance will be created between the elderly and their families. Care workers who work near the elderly in the area are also forced to carry out activities that focus on reducing the risk of infection to the elderly, and have to be overthrown about the psychological care of the elderly. . As a result, many elderly people feel loneliness like never before and the risk of dementia emerges. It can be said that the measures this time are a system for manufacturing and sales and collaboration with customers to solve them in parallel.

As an example of a cooperation system that promotes the priority supply of welfare equipment distribution companies, at Caremax Corporation Co., Ltd., a leading welfare equipment distribution company, in the "Keitaitai NEWS April 4", "For nest measures! fun and spend it as. Recommended! indoor goods ", and Nadenade cat DX18 series, and flyers posted Hello baby series as an important supply item, decided the activities to convey information to all customers.

In addition, a leading welfare equipment distribution company, For Life Medical Co., Ltd., has narrowed its focus on Mother's Day and set out a direction focusing on the daughter generation who have elderly people. Specifically, information will be disseminated to all elderly welfare goods stores nationwide and all wholesale distributors as customers as of April 4. This is a communication of gratitude and compassion across the four generations of the family of Soo grandmother, grandmother, mother, and daughter, and it is a heartwarming gift promotion content.

Two examples of target communication robots this time.

First of all, the “Nade Nadeneko DX Series” has been certified by the “Kawasaki Standard (KIS2015)”, which is an excellent standard for welfare products, and has the following comments.

"This product is highly evaluated as contributing to psychological stability for people with dementia by promoting activity to users and healing effects. Those who have moderate to mild dementia are evaluated by the monitor. It was confirmed that the effect of promoting healing and communication was promoted, and the adaptation to the principles of Kawasaki's standards of "respect for personality and dignity", "activation of activity ability" and "normalization" was highly evaluated, and it was worthy of certification. I think so. "

"Hello baby series" As another example, in 2018 the nursing robot such as a monitor survey business business performance report of techno Aid Association, has obtained the following comments.

"Hello baby" life by placing it in the everyday life becomes positive, by taking care of the robot can feel the "role" and "feeling useful", there is a possibility that the motivation is increased to life. In addition, it can be expected to have a positive effect on the sense of solidarity and cooperation that are members of society. ".
