Better Lives With Care.Wallet: Eldercare in China

China is aging rapidly. By 2030, nearly a quarter of the population will be 60 years old or older. An aging population has unique needs, primarily because they are burdened with more chronic diseases, such as strokes, heart disease, or diabetes. Almost 80% of deaths in people over 60 are caused by diseases like these.

Many seniors rely on their children for care in old age, while others must take care of themselves. Because of their conditions, healthcare becomes much more expensive, something many can’t afford. In addition, those who live in rural areas often have less access to care. These issues all lead to a serious and growing problem: the elderly not seeing a doctor when ill.

When they or their family members finally do seek medical care, the elderly can be quite sick. By then, it can be difficult to find. China faces a significant shortage of beds in nursing homes and hospitals. Families also become physically and financially exhausted trying to care for aging parents with worsening chronic conditions.

Solve.Care brings a ready-to-use platform that helps relieve some of these issues, connecting care providers, families, and patients into one circle. Care.Wallet is specially created for each part of the healthcare chain. A doctor can easily track a senior’s symptoms and health conditions, give treatment recommendations, and book rides to appointments when needed. And all this can be done remotely.

Using Care.Wallet, the elderly or their family members can stay in touch with medical providers, reducing the need to go to the hospital and the time spent there. The younger generation can add their elderly parents to their Care.Circle and manage the health of their relatives in just a few clicks from anywhere they are.

Solve.Care can reduce the total costs for health services around the world, not just in China. Its solutions make healthcare more intuitive, easy, and affordable for every man, woman, and child around the globe.
