Roujin Z is a 1991 sci-fi anime movie. I checked it out from the library.
Review:
Takazawa, an elderly invalid, is cared for by a volunteer nurse named Haruko. However, the program that takes care of Takazawa and many other elderly Japanese is overburdened and unable to support all the people that could use it, so the Ministry of Public Welfare proposes something new: the Z-001, a computerized "smart" hospital bed that can take care of a patient's every need without any input from a human being. Takazawa's family (who we never see) volunteers him to be the first patient in a Z-001.
Haruko is convinced that the Z-001 couldn't possibly replace the kind of care a real nurse could provide. Her worries seem founded when Takazawa somehow transmits a message to her, asking for help. With the aid of a bunch of elderly hackers, Haruko does her best to free her patient.
