Nanotech makes bathing elderly safer and easier

A nanotechnology-based bathing solution that requires just one bottle of pure water and a single staff member to complete full-body cleaning is now available in Shanghai as part of new services for elderly bathing assistance.

"Our nanogenerator creates water particles as small as 500 nanometers, enabling deep penetration into skin pores for effective cleansing during the 15-minute bath," said Ding Qingfei, general manager of Nano Mist Care, which developed the new bathing system.

The service is introduced in Shanghai's first systematic and professional vocational training program for elderly bathing assistants, launched in the Minhang district's elderly care service capacity building base. The training incorporates traditional bathing assistance and technology-based solutions to ease the bathing process for seniors.
