Six Ministries Issue Document: Accelerate the Integration of Embodied Intelligence and Other Cutting-Edge Technologies into Elderly Care
On November 4, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and five other ministries jointly issued "Several Measures for Cultivating Diverse Scenarios and Promoting Consumption of Age-Friendly Products." The document proposes leveraging major national science and technology projects to accelerate the application of cutting-edge technologies such as embodied intelligence, large language models, brain-computer interfaces, and exoskeletons in the elderly care sector. It also calls for the research, development, and upgrading of intelligent equipment for care for the disabled, rehabilitation, and mental health support.
The measures further encourage the rapid deployment of intelligent elderly care service robots, promote leasing models like "rent-to-own," and foster consumption scenarios such as "Silver Malls" and "Senior Markets."
