The Landscape of Aging Care in Singapore

Singapore’s population is aging faster than ever — bringing new challenges in accessibility, healthcare, and digital inclusion.

In our September edition of Tech Talk @ Club Street, Vertis' Sai Ganesh Suresh led an evening of discussion on how technology can play a transformative role in supporting an aging society and ensuring that innovation remains inclusive.

Inside the Session

Sai shared insights into Singapore’s shifting demographics, with seniors aged 65 and above now representing nearly one in five citizens, a figure projected to reach one in four by 2030.

He highlighted how the growing complexity of healthcare systems and subsidy schemes often leaves seniors behind, underscoring the need for human-centered digital solutions that simplify access and restore confidence.

Through examples and open discussion, the session examined how scalable digital infrastructure, AI-driven support, and inclusive design can address these gaps.
