The second day in TFScale program, we visited two places. The first, is toEvergreen, like a nursing home community in Singapore. Evergereen is the place to do training, and care to residents elderly to enjoy their days. There we were divided into five groups to do some interviews with elderly there. Me and my group do an interview to a grandmother 91 years old. Grandma was only able to speak mandarin. Fortunately, in my group there are 2 people from RP and one of them can speak mandarin, so that our group can communicate with the grandmother.We discuss any problems or difficulties experienced by the grandmother in living their daily lives.Then we collect any problems experienced by the grandmother during their everyday lives so hope we can find solution to the problem using Raspberry Pi technology with my group. I learned a lot about how life in Singapore based on conversations with the elderly in Evergreen.
Life in Singapore is an independent life. A little socialize with the surrounding community. And most people live in apartments. Very rarely to find people who live in their own home . Especially the elderly who are aged, they prefer to live alone in an apartment rather than stay with their families. So that when they start to ache and their health declines, and few people who care for them. Some of them followed the nursing home community to fill their daily activities.Their activities are in nursing homes Evergreen include health checks, eating schedule, learning, entertainment and art work. Evergreen also provides a tool that can monitor the health conditions of its members, namely like a wristwatch that can detect the patient’s sleep schedule and the patient’s heartbeat. We as a student in the field of IT ( Information Technology ) will provide will make a usefull product to resolve the problems experienced by elderly using technology Raspberry Pi.
After visiting Evergreen, me and my friends visiting Bollywood Veggie. There are many gardens with various types of plants. We can see many kinds of plants such as the types of bananas, vegetables, trees, and a variety of other plant species.
