Tech For At-Home Elderly Care

Retirement homes. Old-folks home. Elderly care. These phrases are often stigmatized because of how many of these institutions are typically run. Care Concierge hopes to change all that by leveraging on tech to give loved ones peace of mind, as well as vet caregivers beforehand. We speak to CEO Martin Yap about the need for better at-home elderly care services, sourcing for proper caregivers, as well as expansion plans for the company moving forward.
