Bestic patent granted in China
The State Intellectual Property Office in China informs that they have granted patent for the assistive eating device Bestic®. The patent protects Camanio Care on one of the world’s most essential markets for welfare technology.
According to the EU-project ”SILVER” (www.silverpcp.eu), around 0.2% of the adult population is being fed. This is equal to approximately 3 million individuals in China alone. The reasons behind eating difficulties are several. However, neurological diagnosis such as stroke, ALS, Parkinson and spinal cord lesion can cause eating difficulties. People suffering from eating difficulties are also more likely to develop undernutrition, which is a big problem in today’s society.
