作品说明 

With the rapid development of society and the intensification of the aging trend, the quality of life and emotional needs of the elderly have become increasingly prominent. As an indispensable part of the daily life of the elderly, diet not only meets their basic nutritional requirements but also plays a vital role in emotional communication and social interaction. Focusing on functionality and user pain points, "Elderly Care Dining Companion" aims to provide elderly people with care and companionship while they enjoy healthy meals. In terms of healthy eating, the canteen employs intelligent means to offer scientific, rational, and balanced nutrition plans tailored to the elderly, fulfilling their physical health and nutritional needs. On the emotional care level, the canteen is divided into personalized zones to cater to the different social needs of the elderly, and also considers safer walking routes for the middle-aged and elderly from the perspective of dining safety. The delivery of "Elderly Care Dining Companion" is not limited by devices, encompassing smart wearable devices, smart speakers, projectors, mattresses, desk lamps, robot vacuum cleaners, and more. Furthermore, the mutual help format not only enables elderly people to realize their own value, increase interactions with neighbors, but also enhances the self-operating capacity of the canteen, thereby alleviating its financial pressure.
