Brief Explanation

Singapore has one of the fastest-growing aging populations globally. But many seniors don't have access to technology and are increasingly isolated. Project SilverLine was commissioned to connect seniors back to the community. Used smartphones are collected and refurbished with senior-friendly apps (e.g. daily medication reminders, picture speed dial to reach family, daily inspirational quotes and interesting facts, ambulance contact), the seniors are then taught to use the phones to reconnect with community. The project earned extensive media coverage. Social sentiment was on an all-time high on the SingTel Facebook page, and over 1,000 seniors were reconnected back to the community.
