Rethink and Reinvent Post COVID-19 with Spotlight on Japan

Rethink and Reinvent Post COVID-19 with Spotlight on Japan

The COVID-19 situation is unprecedented and has presented our health and eldercare sector with great challenges. This period has also driven the industry to be even more resourceful and think out of the box for their practices.

In the ‘Impact of COVID-19 on the business of Ageing’ webinar series, we will focus on how the global eldercare sector is re-thinking, re-inventing the wheel to navigate during this challenging time. The sessions will also showcase some examples of digitising products, services, business and operational models to address the needs of Asia Pacific’s 505 million ageing population (aged over 65) by 2030.

This course will be focusing on Japan to find out what’s happening on the ground in Japan’s eldercare sector, and some top of the mind examples that are leading the way. The one-hour session will conclude after an interactive Q&A.

The sharing will be on:

• Outlook on the eldercare sector in Japan
• Case-Study: Re-designing the operational model for nursing homes
• COVID-19 prevention and management strategies from Japan
• Digitising the eldercare sector through technological innovation
