Future Camp HK 2017

You may have heard of the elderly complaining that tablets are not easy to swallow. You may have seen an old lady spending a long time just to finish her meal. You may have waited for a bus under the dazzling sun in summer alongside a pair of old couple. You must have encountered these situations but have you ever thought of combining innovation and technology in helping our elderly to solve their daily problems? The elderly lacks a user-friendly technology designed and specialized to alleviate their difficulties. How could we utilize the latest technology to help them in aspects of healthcare, eating, living and mobility? Are there also innovative business ideas with profound social impacts that can bring them convenience?

What is the role of community support and how could the community support our senior citizens? Community care facilities? Community care service? Association form neighbourhood? Coumminty culture? Or they are the power of community themselves?
