HealthBeat® is glad to be supporting Caregiving Welfare Association (CWA) in their remote monitoring and support programme. When the HealthBeats(R) team was onsite to support the deployment, we witness the need of our vulnerable seniors first hand which serves as a stark reminder to what we stand for. We need to have confidence in our seniors that they truly want to learn more about their health conditions and that they can adapt and adopt technology.
Senior Minister of State for National Development Sim Ann, who attended the Caregiving Fest, which also marked CWA’s 20th anniversary, said these initiatives provide crucial support for vulnerable and solo-living seniors. The initiatives “provide much-needed healthcare support closer to where they live, making care more accessible and convenient by leveraging digital health solutions, ensuring they receive timely care and support”, she added.
