Ms LEE SIN YEE, PHTSIOTHERAPIST OF AWWA REHAB AND DAY CARE CENTRE
SinYee_Lee@awwa.org.sg

• Overview of challenges faced by:
The Seniors,
The Healthcare Professionals and
The VWOs in general, serving the elderly in a social setting.
• Understanding on how Innovations can assist in
overcoming the challenges faced by various stake holders.
• Introduction to the terminologies and ICF.
• Key considerations while planning an innovative project in
the social service sector serving the elderly.
OBJECTIVES

AWWA HEALTH AND SENIOR CARE
• AWWA Ltd is a Voluntary Welfare Organisation, operating
with a mission to empower the disadvantaged to maximise
their potential to lead dignified and independent lives.
• Located in Block 123 (Ave 6) & Blk 126 (Ave3) in Ang Mo
Kio.

AWWA

Currently has 4 arms:

• The term ‘Invention’ means to create or design something
that has not existed before (Oxford Online Dictionary).
• The term ‘Innovation’ means to make changes in something
established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas,
or products.
• Innovations are not necessarily expensive.
• Innovation can be structural and/or functional.
• Necessity is the mother of all inventions.
• It is very critical to understand the necessity/challenges faced
by the different stake holders to come up with/design relevant
invention/innovations.

REMEMBER!
Every challenge opens the gateway for a possible Invention/Innovation to
overcome it……!
MAJOR CHALLENGES

MAJOR CHALLENGES FACED BY THE ELDERLY
• Decreasing Muscle Power
• Compromised Endurance – Early fatigue
• Joint degeneration – Pain, decreased range
• Mobility Issues – decreased gait parameters
• Diminished vision
• Balance issues – Increased susceptibility to
falls (more that 4 medications)
• Memory Issues
• Prone for emergency assistances – heart
attack etc
• Decreased flexibility and diminished reflexes

ELDERLY WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
• Multiple medical complications like
Hyperlipidaemia, DiabetesHypertension,
etc.
• Physical disabilities due to Stroke,
Parkinson Disease etc resulting in physical
challenges such as mobility issues both
indoors and outdoors, dependency in
Activities of Daily Living, Swallowing
disorders, Communication issues, etc.
• Intellectual Challenges due to Dementia
• Emotional & Social Challenges

CHALLENGES FACED BY HEALTHCARE
PROFESSIONALS
• Need for Objective tools for Assessments and Interventions –
quicker and accurate.
• Manual Labour – Handling clients with different dimensions.
• Handling Active Infectious clients – Need for Personal and
Protective Equipment.
• Multi tasking professionals, limited time availability
• Upkeep of clients motivation and participation in the
programs.

MANUAL HANDLING OF CLIENTS

CHALLENGES FACED BY VWOs IN GENERAL
• Limited Space
• Limited Manpower
• Limitation in available funds – due to non profit nature of the
business
• Multi tasking professionals, limited time availability
• Increasing number of beneficiaries

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
Year 2001

• Each of the challenges provide a scope for a possible
Invention/Innovation to alleviate their impact.
• A wide range of products currently being used in different
settings aiding to alleviate the changes faced by the seniors,
healthcare professionals and the VWOs at large.
• Some examples of such products are as follows:

KEY CONSIDERATIONS WHILE
PLANNING A PROJECT
• Cost Effective
• Slender (Not occupying much space) - Space Considerations
• Portable – Multi purpose nature of the available space.
• User Friendly – Minimal technical knowledge.
• Heavy Duty
• Versatile – Multiple usage under the same tool/resource
Note:
It is a worth considering a short attachment with a centre to
understand the ground needs better before planning a project.
It is important to assess each individual’s situation and needs and
address issues of loss of privacy

• Introduction of Technology in Processes – automation vs
manual, to minimise multi tasking, manual errors, manpower
efficiency etc.
• Logistics – e.g. space saving technology, etc
• Intervention & Assessment tools – Use of Technology for
objective and quicker methods.
• (Innovation Project TRiC – AIC, Singapore Poly &
AWWA)
• Modification of mobility devices, assistive technology, adaptive
devices.
• Objective tools for subjective Ax, progress trackingetc.
• Bio Feed back Devices – elicit physiological responses
through sensory stimulus.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE

POTENTIAL LIMITATIONS TO IMPLEMENT
NEW TECHNOLOGIES AMONG THE ELDERLY
- Resistance in accepting new technological aids.
- A lot of technological aids are expensive.
- Those elderlies who have physical, cognitive or sensory
impairment may have difficulty in using some of the
technology.
