Discover & Prioritise

  • Conducted 1:1 in-depth interviews with seniors to explore daily routines, pain points, coping mechanisms, and unmet needs.
  • Used 15 initial propositions as conversation starters, allowing seniors to organically identify their top three concern areas.
  • Collaborated with business teams to shortlist seven scalable and high-impact propositions.

Deep Dive Research

  • In-depth interviews on the 7 refined propositions.
  • Open-ended questionnaire + flashcards to discuss problems, hypotheses, and possible solutions.
  • Explored caregiver perspectives on feasibility, trust, and integration into daily routines.

Condition Based FGDs

  • Focus on specific health conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, arthritis).
  • Investigated how seniors currently manage these conditions (self, caregiver, medical support).
  • Tested propositions around best modes of external support, WhatsApp guidance, home visits, hospital escorts, and missing market products.

Key Insights

Customer Quotes

Proposition 01 (Companion for daily activities): ​"This would be a win-win because the super seniors would get the freedom to get out of the house and visit places/relatives whenever they wished, instead of having to relying on us."

Proposition 02 (Groups & Communities):"Our experience should be utilised. Maybe we dont know technology like you younger people but we have expertise to share.”

  1. Preference for flexible, condition-specific careSeniors want tailored solutions that fit into existing habits
  2. Trust is relationship-basedRecommendations from peers, known doctors, or trusted caregivers outweigh advertising
  3. Phygital support beats purely digitalMany prefer a mix of virtual check-ins and occasional in-person visits.
  4. Guidance + product pairing drives adoptionEducation on why/how to use a product is as important as the product itself
  5. Family reassurance is a major driverServices that keep family members informed increase willingness to try
