Better Lives with Care.Wallet: Seniors in Singapore

In a rapidly growing Singapore, the number of people aged 65 years and over is expected to double to a million by 2030. Yet, the population overall is shrinking, with fewer young people to support elderly citizens. As a result, there are not enough caregivers or facilities, leaving many seniors to fend for themselves.

A great many elderly end up living alone and, consequently, have a 70 percent higher risk of dying prematurely than those who live with others. They frequently suffer from depression because of loneliness, loss of independence, and other issues. These seniors are also less likely to get early detection and management for illnesses. At the same time, dementia and other age-related diseases are on the rise among the elderly, making the need for regular care even more important.

With Solve.Care’s Platform, users can deliver better community-based, person-centered care using Care.Wallets. With the How Are You Feeling Today (HAYFT) Care.Card, caregivers, family members, and others can track health conditions remotely and give seniors recommendations based on their conditions. Institutions, such as elderly day care and respite centers, can also use the HAYFT Care.Card to keep in touch with seniors and even issue other Care.Cards to help prevent and manage loneliness and depression. These institutions can even use the Solve.Care Platform to create their own Care Network for just this purpose. And, using Care.Wallet, providers will be able to help the elderly make appointments and book rides to regular checkups to maintain good health while preventing disease.

With solutions like these, Solve.Care is delivering revolutionary technology that can empower the elderly to take charge of their health and gives caregivers the tools to help them.
