Using advanced technology, the plan provides personalised, data-driven care that seniors can access and monitor remotely. Support is available round-the-clock through an app or phone.
Reducing Healthcare Costs
Healthcare for seniors can be costly due to frequent doctor visits and the need for specialised care. This plan aims to address that by offering teleconsultations to reduce unnecessary outpatient visits, encourage early diagnosis, and lower healthcare expenses. Structured programmes and preventive measures also help reduce hospital admissions and complications.
