Singapore is looking to artificial intelligence to help manage the health of its elderly population.

By 2030 , a quarter of Singaporeans will be 65 or over, and it's estimated that around 6,000 nurses and care staff will need to be hired annually to meet Singapore 's health workforce targets.

Experts say the use of technology must be balanced with human caregiving.

Singapore 's " Action Plan for Successful Ageing " details its aims to reach 550,000 seniors with a health and wellness program and reduce hospital deaths from 61% to 51% between 2023 and 2028 .

But Foo said seniors' opinions needed to be taken into account when determining how AI can address their health needs.
