Amid a demographic crisis, the government is encouraging the use of robots to care for senior citizens in institutional and home settings
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in collaboration with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, issued a notice on Monday inviting organisations to participate in pilot projects. The initiative aims to enhance the integration of robotics into smart elderly care.
The programme “primarily focuses on improving the quality of life for senior citizens, reducing the caregiving burden on families, addressing labour shortages in communities and institutional care, and enhancing the overall elderly care infrastructure”, according to the notice.
