Ageing Gracefully in Singapore

The "Design for Ageing Gracefully" project in Singapore aimed to identify trends, behaviors, and gaps in the elderly healthcare system. The project identified opportunity areas for design-driven innovation in the Singaporean public healthcare space, to facilitate the creation of ideal conditions to support a rapidly ageing society. A key output of this work was a dynamic, interactive, and open-sourced map that contains 24 videos cross-indexed through the 8 personas Experientia identified during the ethnographic research and analysis. This interactive map offers an innovative means of organizing and accessing a broad archive of rich visual research data.The ethnographic videos and interactive map were important tools when presenting our insights to Singaporean stakeholders such as the ministry of health and hospitals. By positioning the findings very clearly as being directly from the research participants, we were able to reduce institutional resistance to any findings that might have been critical of the system.The videos also allowed people's unfiltered voices to come through in an engaging way, ensuring their voices were being heard directly when talking about such a sensitive topic as health
