The third World Internet Conference will be held in Wuzhen, East China’s Zhejiang province, from Nov 16 to 18.

Smart parking robots in the spotlight

With the help of smart displays and an enhanced parking system, drivers enter into the interaction area to get codes for car selection. Robots then transport the cars to designated parking places, and the whole process only takes three minutes.

Scanning the code also triggers the robots to bring the cars back to their owners.

Wu Yuanhai, the leader of the invention team of HIKVISION, a Hangzhou Based digital technology company, expressed his wish that all the visitors of the 3rd WIC can experience the convenience of the world’s first smart parking robots.

Internet Plus aids the elderly

Wuzhen has initiated an innovative program that integrates the Internet, medical treatment, and care for older residents, helping to realize the goal of full coverage for medical services and care for the elderly in every household and community.

Through the online cloud platform, they have developed a comprehensive service for the elderly and remote medical services. The offline service centers are found at community health service stations and endowment stations for the elderly at home. However, by using Internet of Things (IOT)-based household appliances and health management APPs in every family, the health conditions of every senior citizen can be tracked continuously and recorded in personal digital health profiles.

The online platform gives heath evaluation, chronic disease management, and health data monitoring services, and Wuzhen hospitals offer online registration, diagnosis, and experts’ lectures.

The offline endowment centers establish personal health profiles, also provide rehabilitation and door-to-door services; health service stations offer general practice services, prescriptions, and medicines.

Thus the whole endowment and health treatment is perfectly connected through the Internet.
