From parkour for seniors to stylish adult diapers, Singapore youths are revitalising the business of eldercare

Rehabify is a new app that turns physical exercises into interactive, game-like experiences for seniors. The app was developed by three SP students—Lim Jian Ping, Rafael Macam, and Reyes Ng—who were motivated by Ng’s volunteer work with the Singapore Red Cross. Noticing that traditional physiotherapy and exercise routines for seniors are often dull and uninspiring, the team used computer vision and AI to create games controlled by body movements instead of controllers. Their goal is not only to make exercise enjoyable but also to encourage consistency in seniors’ physical activity, blending eldercare with innovation and empathy.
