Design of Multi-functional Elderly Walking Aid Device

Abstract

With the accelerating aging process of the population in China, the daily mobility and living assistance needs of the elderly have become increasingly prominent. To enhance the autonomy and safety of mobility for the elderly, this paper conducts field visits to nursing homes, rehabilitation hospitals and communities, systematically investigates the current usage status and user pain points of existing mobility AIDS, and proposes an intelligent mobility aid device that integrates functions such as lift assistance, mobility assistance, automatic following, intelligent obstacle avoidance, health monitoring and one-click first aid. The device is structured based on ergonomic principles and integrates multi-sensor technology and intelligent control algorithms to meet the diverse and individualized assistive needs of the elderly, providing an effective solution to mobility assistance problems in an aging society.
