The four-year Health and Welfare Innovative Services Promotion Program, launched in 2017, aims to stimulate the incorporation of ICT into services for older adults and expand the focus beyond those who need care to those who are healthy in order to support active, independent aging. To leverage the knowledge and resources of multiple stakeholders, the government brought together research institutions as consultants for selected companies. To qualify for this support, a company must be local and cooperate with NGOs focused on social services. In the first year of the program, six businesses received support. These companies concentrated on online platforms enabling online-to-offline commerce, or one-stop access to diverse information, services, and products. One example is the one-stop platform developed by Chunghwa Senior Care Corporation, a company specializing in home-care businesses. The Chunghwa Senior Care platform enables older adults and their family members to place orders for services ranging from daily life assistance to doctor visit accompaniment, to dementia and hospice care. Another example is I Long-Term Care, a portal that aggregates information and provides consultancy on disease, long-term care skills, public policies, and available resources for older adults and their families.
