What We Do
Well-being of Elderly People
According to Shakespeare's Seven Stages of a Person's Life, old age is similar to a child's. Therefore, during these golden years of their life, our elders need our utmost support and care. However, at times the senior citizens face physical and emotional setbacks.
There are several government initiatives to address the old age trauma and secure the elder's well-being.
NITI Aayog's recent position paper, "Senior Care Reforms in India: Reimagining the Senior Care Paradigm," emphasizes the transformative potential of digital technology for India's elderly population. While digital tools offer exciting scope for social connection, managing health, and enhancing independence, a significant gap in embracing digital technology amongst senior citizens persists. This paper identifies key challenges for seniors in the digital world, including limited access to devices (only 13% of those aged 60 and above have used the internet), lack of digital literacy, and affordability issues.
Ananda Vriddhi Foundation proposes an innovative solution to ensure the mental well-being of our elders. We strategize VR programs specifically designed for elderly well-being and care. This technology allows seniors to explore virtual tours of new places and activities, improving mental health. These tools also help them foster social connections and combat isolation, a common setback in this age group. This innovation bridges the digital divide and empowers seniors to embrace technology for an enriching and more fulfilling life.
