With the level of over 60-year olds in China set to double to a predicted 440 million by 2050, a corresponding increase in the 37.5 million over 60-year old mobility impaired (18.8%) is also forecast. Our solution is a telemedicine smart wheelchair which allows patients and caregivers to access patient data in real-time.Heterogenous patient data collected from sensors attached to the wheelchair will be analysed in real-time using AI algorithms to diagnose any associated conditions. iChair helps save caregivers’ time and expense, while reducing medical intervention and trips to the hospital for the patient. As a telemedicine product the iChair service, when used as a homecare product, will reduce the amount of travel for carers because in many circumstances they will not need to be present to monitor their patients. This reduction in travel will reduce traffic and environmental pollution. Additionally, this system is expected to reduce the need for unnecessary visits to hospital by allowing my targeted earlier interventions further reducing the requirement for road travel.The wheelchair will empower users to lead a more independent life, thus giving them the greater possibility for employment opportunities, especially those who have had to take early retirement due to mobility problems. It will also increase the economic contribution to the Chinese economy due to opportunity cost of carers returning to the labour market. As doctors, nurses and caregivers become free to give patients more focused attention, with the numerous daily tasks being efficiently handled by the iChair system, the payoff will lead to improved quality of care and reduced hospital readmissions.Medical errors are also expected to be reduced, thereby driving reduction of costs of clinical rehabilitative care and decreasing impact to families and caregivers, which goes together with the high growth rate of care assistance and automation predicted in the next 5 years.The iChair project aims to develop and demonstrate a cost-effective wheelchair connectivity and remote monitoring technology which significantly increases user independence (mobility) and freedom (quality of living) while providing caregivers peace of mind and convenience.

到2050年，中国60岁以上的人口将翻一番，预计将达到4.4亿人，60岁以上行动不便的3750万人也将相应增加(18.8%)。我们的解决方案是远程医疗智能轮椅，它允许患者和护理人员实时访问患者数据。从安装在轮椅上的传感器收集的异类患者数据将使用人工智能算法进行实时分析，以诊断任何相关情况。I椅子有助于节省照顾者的时间和费用，同时减少医疗干预和患者去医院的路程。作为一种远程医疗产品，当作为家庭护理产品使用时，椅子服务将减少护理者的旅行次数，因为在许多情况下，他们将不需要在场监视他们的病人。减少出行将减少交通和环境污染。此外，这个系统预计会减少不必要的就医需要，因为我可以在早期进行有针对性的干预，进一步减少对公路旅行的需求。轮椅将使使用者能够过上更独立的生活，从而为他们提供更大的就业机会，特别是那些因行动不便而不得不提前退休的人。由于护理人员重返劳动力市场的机会成本，它还将增加对中国经济的经济贡献。随着医生、护士和护理者开始自由地为患者提供更集中的关注，随着大量的日常任务由iChain系统有效地处理，回报将导致护理质量的提高和住院人数的减少。医疗差错预计也将减少，从而推动临床康复护理成本的降低，并减少对家庭和护理者的影响，这与预计在未来5年内护理辅助和自动化的高速增长相结合。iChain项目旨在开发和展示一种具有成本效益的轮椅连接和远程监控技术，显著提高用户的独立性(移动性)和自由度(生活质量)，同时为护理者提供安心和便利。
