We are committed to empowering communities to age with grace and dignity. Staying true to this mission, we’ve integrated innovative gerontechnology solutions into our welfare homes and community-based centres. These advancements promote active ageing, encourage participation, and bring joy to the lives of our elderly residents.
With Singapore’s ageing population on the rise, we believe that technology can be a powerful enabler to improve the physical, mental, and social well-being of seniors. Here’s a closer look at two of our latest breakthroughs.
Kebbi: A Robotic Companion for Holistic Engagement
Kebbi, our live-in educational and companionship robot, is no ordinary smart device. Equipped with advanced human skeleton detection technology, it engages residents with interactive programs designed to boost both physical activity and mental stimulation.
Throughout the day, Kebbi leads our residents through light exercises, cognitive games, and conversations, helping them remain active and connected. This initiative has provided immense value, particularly for individuals who may struggle with isolation or cognitive decline, fostering a more engaging and fulfilling environment.
Moto Tiles: Playful Rehabilitation Through Interactive Movement
We have also introduced Moto Tiles, an innovative care technology from Denmark that makes physical activity fun and easy. These interactive tiles fit together like jigsaw pieces, lighting up to form hopscotch-like squares. Residents can jump between tiles, following colors to complete activities that enhance their mobility and coordination.
Moto Tiles have proven to be a game-changer in rehabilitation programs. Where traditional therapy sessions sometimes struggle to engage residents, this playful solution encourages consistent participation. Today, Moto Tiles have become a favorite part of the daily routine for many residents in our 4S-managed welfare homes, improving their physical health and well-being through joyful movement.
Pushing the Boundaries of Elderly Care with Gerontechnology
At 4S, we believe that the future of elderly care lies in holistic solutions that integrate technology, compassion, and community support. We will continue to explore new gerontechnology solutions that enhance the quality of life for our seniors, helping them stay active, connected, and independent.
This is only the beginning of our journey toward empowering seniors to live with dignity and purpose. We remain committed to promoting active ageing, encouraging intergenerational engagement, and challenging stereotypes about what it means to grow old in today’s society.
