Inclusion of older Australians
Monash University is enhancing seniors' quality of life and promoting social inclusion through innovative research and digital technology:
- A research initiative led by Dr Rosanne Freak-Poli, Dr Barbara Barbosa Neves, and Dr Pei-Chun Ko evaluates the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) to improve seniors' quality of life and address health risks linked to loneliness.
- The 'Ciao!' Program, launched by the National Centre for Healthy Ageing (NCHA) in partnership with Peninsula Health and Amplifon, uses digital technology to enhance social inclusion and well-being in aged care through interactive content.
