Providing a proactive care programme for singleton elderly living in poverty
The venture leverages gerontechnology to provide accessible and cost-effective nursing care for impoverished elderly living apart from their family requiring minimal to mild assistance in activities of daily living. Using SMART home analysis to identify and assess health risks, it promotes ageing-in-place and inter-generational inclusion. Through AI detecting daily activity changes and preliminary questionnaire assessment, the family members can continuously support and care for their loved ones regardless of location or time. Utilising this information, the nurses can also identify the specific needs of the elderly and refer them to appropriate community services, leading to reduced consultation costs and efficient case management.
