Solution addressing UN Sustainability Goals	Service Innovation to Revitalised Rural Area in UK	4 Weeks	Loughborough Univerisity @ Vigla & Roderick

Overview
Brief
Aging is natural but shifting globally, especially in developed nations. Longer lifespans, improved public services, and lower fertility rates are driving aging populations, with WHO predicting 1 in 6 will be 60+ by 2030. In the UK, this strains social welfare, making senior mental health a growing concern. Heal+th supports isolated 65+ residents in Bromley through physical activities and digital family reconnection.

My Role
Led a cross-functional team of three in applying UX design, usability testing, and systems thinking to design a solution that solves critical local challenges while aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals.

CONTEXT

Empowering Solo Seniors 65+ Through Active Living

Enhancing Digital Accessibility and Ergonomics for Senior Users

Start with Problem
Absence of regular routine leads to inactivity and isolation

Big Question:
What are the changes seniors face in their regular routine after retirement? How to boost happiness among our solo seniors? How to make or keep our senior motivated?

How I Frame the Process to Solution		A Glance on Solution
Decipher the *Gap		Wellbeing Companion

Individual: Surrounded by resources but lack of motivation	→	Active and Healthy Habit Forming
Institutions: Full of motivation but running out of resources	→	3 Layers: Virtual, Remote, Physical

INDIVIDUAL

Low awareness among solo senior individual via user interview

Prioritise physical health over mental health
Acknowledge aging makes them vulnerable
Cautious about health issues like cancer or chronic pain, yet overlook the sign of unhappiness and mental decline
Assuming mental illness is solely caused by stress

→ Opportunity to bring mental wellbeing consciousness into their house

ORGANISATION

Low accessibility in the public service via site visit observation and desk research

The demands outpaces the available resources
While referrals to therapy or specialists are common, there can be long waiting time for service like counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
A gap in reaching isolated seniors, esp those in rural area

→ Opportunity to build proactive support network to catch and care early and prevent mild cases from escalating
