Difficulty in Eating Against the Background of Aging
According to the national population census data, there are 264 million elderly people in China, accounting for 19.7% of the total population. Among them, the number of elderly people living alone and empty-nest reached 118 million, and it is expected that the number of empty-nest elderly people will exceed 200 million by 2030. Aging has become one of the main social issues that China will face. With the increasing number of empty nest elderly people, the problem of difficult meals for the elderly has also surfaced, such as being unable to cook independently due to limited mobility, time-consuming and labor-intensive cooking, easy waste caused by small food intake, special needs for food and nutrition matching, limited payment ability, and so on. In response to these pain points, elderly care service communities and institutions are seeking innovative elderly care meal assistance technology and exploring the “last mile” solution for elderly dining.
The intelligent cooking robot adopts an internet cloud recipe and intelligently controls the entire cooking process, not only simplifying the restaurant’s dependence on chefs, but more importantly, with scientific formulas and standard processes, it stably provides nutritional and age-friendly dietary packages for the elderly. Elderly meals emphasize nutritional matching and diversification to ensure that the elderly can obtain rich vitamins, calcium, and other needs. Considering the physical preferences of the elderly, meals should be based on ‘soft, rotten, and broken’, ensuring the taste, health, and safety of Chinese food on this basis.
In addition, machine frying can reduce the investment of kitchen staff, ensure hygiene issues during food cooking, and provide elderly people with heartwarming and reassuring meals.
According to the person in charge of Hunan Elderly Care Service Company, the company plans to replicate smart elderly cafeterias in 20 communities throughout Changsha, so that elderly people in Changsha can enjoy the same high-quality elderly meals no matter where they go. We also sincerely look forward to the promotion of this business model in other regions of the country, benefiting the vast elderly population and safeguarding the happiness on the tongue of the elderly.
