The Yangtze River Delta Smart Healthcare Carnival commenced in Nantong, Jiangsu province, on Nov 24, bringing together over 80 domestic and international companies and exhibiting nearly 1,000 smart health devices and rehabilitation aids.

The most popular exhibit was the "1+3+N" smart health solution presented by Shenzhen Shulian Tianxia. On the large screen, the sleep patterns of elderly individuals at home gently fluctuated with their nighttime breathing, community activity paths traced leisurely morning walks, and real-time medication reminders popped up from institutional care records. These continuously flowing data create an invisible health safety net for the elderly.

The Huawei booth was even more crowded, with a smartwatch proving especially popular. A technical engineer demonstrated the watch on-site, explaining, "When worn by the elderly during walks, it collects data on heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and steps in real time. If they fall or experience abnormal heart activity, the system automatically calls for help."

The home arm rehabilitation device brought by Zhikang Robotics also drew significant attention. This device, not much larger than a microwave, fits in a corner of the living room without taking up space, yet can accurately replicate the techniques of a professional rehabilitation therapist, providing post-surgery patients with customized rehabilitation training.

Thanks to the collaboration facilitated by the Putuo district government in Shanghai and Nantong institutions, the company has formed a deep partnership with the Nantong Long-Term Care Insurance Industrial Park. Soon, Nantong residents will be able to access these affordable and effective rehabilitation tools right at their doorstep.

At the exhibition, more than 10 traditional Chinese medicine experts offered free consultation services, with pulse diagnosis and massage in high demand. The aroma of herbal tea filled the air, the scent of health sachets was delightful, and a dazzling array of traditional Chinese medicine products was on display. The ancient culture of traditional Chinese medicine is quietly making its way into modern life in a fashionable and approachable way.
