Community and home-based care, health systems and applications and the psycho-social well-being of older adults will be among key areas of joint research by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the Geriatric Education and Research Institute (GERI) to help Singapore better manage the demands of being a rapidly ageing society.
It is part of NTU’s continuing efforts to find innovative ways for the elderly in Singapore to lead fulfilling lives in their silver years. About 20 per cent of the country’s population will be 65 years of age and above in the next 10 years.
