Singapore is a fast-ageing society with about 25% of citizens aged 65 years and over by 2030. The ubiquitous use of technology in Singapore means that technology could play a pivotal role in fostering independence and improving seniors' health. This paper discusses a novel gerotechnological innovation – the Smart Resident Monitoring System (SRMS) and wearable device – implemented at a Home for seniors in Singapore. Leveraging the findings from a formative evaluation of the SRMS, Ecological Systems Theory will be utilized to analyze and explore the benefits and challenges of the SRMS, and enhancements proposed to augment the independence, health and well-being of seniors residing in the Home.
