Support for Vulnerable Groups

Gen-Closer

Problem Statement

Singapore has one of the most rapidly aging populations and it is estimated that by 2030, 1 in 4 people will be aged over 65 years, and this will rise to almost one in two by 2050. With the Covid-19 pandemic, many seniors are left at home and there is increased loneliness among seniors leading to negative impacts such as social isolation and decreased mental well-being. How can we build a better support system for seniors?
