UBTECH Smart Elderly Care Solution Garners Bronze Award Of 2023 Edison Awards

KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- UBTECH, a leading global artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics company, was honoured with the Bronze award of the 2023 Edison Awards’ MedTech category for the distinguished innovation of its Smart Elderly Care Solution.


UBTECH's Smart Elderly Care Solution offers an enriched portfolio of intelligent robots to enhance the quality of life for seniors. In addition to using cutting-edge robotics technologies, the solution also leverages advanced AI.


Through UBTECH's Smart Healthcare Cloud Platform, the Smart Elderly Care Solution creates a network that enables seamless integration of a variety of devices. This interconnect between hardware, network and people supports the seven key scenarios of smart elderly care namely, operational management, safety and security, health management, daily care, rehabilitation, mental and physical activities, and nutrition and diet.


“This is the industry’s comprehensive solution that combines advanced robotics and AI technology to assist seniors and their caregivers in nursing homes. Rather than providing services using isolated, individual products, we focus on addressing system-level challenges.


“By extensively applying AI technology, we vastly improved product performance to bring a richer, more optimised experience to the elderly and caregivers. It is an honour to have our Smart Elderly Care Solution be recognised by the Edison Awards,” said UBTECH Co-Chief Technology Officer and UBTECH Healthcare General Manager, Henry Tan in a statement.


Designed for accessibility, the solution portfolio accepts a multitude of inputs. Its smart sensors, working in parallel with its data platform, transform care from passive to proactive in assisting with daily tasks, and with rich interactive features, the solution can support seniors' physical and mental well-being.


Moving into the smart care era, UBTECH provides people with an intelligent, independent and convenient solution to raise the standard for the elderly care industry.


Within the past year, UBTECH has released five service robots which are Wassi, an intelligent walking assistance robot; VerCari, a containerised delivery robot; PathFynder, a smart wheelchair; AuCari, an open delivery robot; and Welli, a companion robot.


Due to its utility and innovation, UBTECH's Smart Elderly Care Solution is garnering international interest. The PathFynder smart wheelchair is now exploring market in North America.


Known as the "Oscars of tech," the Edison Awards is one of the oldest and most prestigious technology awards honouring the most impactful brands and business leaders worldwide, with past winners including Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, General Motors, and Genentech, recognising their excellence in service development, marketing, design and innovation.


All nominations were reviewed by the Edison Awards Steering Committee with the final ballot determined by an independent judging panel comprising more than 3,000 senior business executives and academics from the fields of product development, design, engineering, science, marketing and education, as well as past winners.
