2026 – 2028 Action Plan
We Built a 2026–2028 Plan into Motion
Core philosophy — Aging in Place · Tech Empowerment · Global Inclusiveness
This project addresses the multifaceted challenges arising from Taiwan's transition into a super-aged society, including elderly life support, family caregiver burdens, caregiving labor shortages, and the digital divide. It will establish a senior service network that combines humanistic care, technological application, and community support.
STRATEGY 01
Smart Companionship APP
Centered on Oppie's voice-first AI companionship, so seniors can handle everyday matters just by speaking.
STRATEGY 02
Smart Home & Robot Matchmaking
Matching seniors with suitable smart-home devices and assistive technology, extending safety and support at home.
STRATEGY 03
Domestic Eldercare Resource Integration
Integrating community stations and eldercare institutions into one support network of families, communities, and institutions.
STRATEGY 04
International Tech-Assisted Eldercare Cooperation
Connecting with international experience and partners, so Taiwan's model learns with — and from — the world.
