Infusing digital into wellbeing programs for seniors
As the issue of the wellbeing of older Australians comes further into focus, there is growing recognition of the essential role digital now plays.
For seniors, having meaningful connection to the community around them is a crucial factor in maintaining a positive quality of life. We are hearing directly from them that they have a desire to be active participants in the modern, digital world. This desire, however, is outpacing the response from the community and organisations in the sector.
Organisations who enable access to technology in the context of seniors and their needs will add to their competitive value proposition and service offering. This is not only relevant for aged care organisations but also true in a broader health and service context.
The reality is that many organisations still aren’t sure where to start or how to approach a digital program.
This is where we can help.
