Connecting elderly patients with volunteer companions for social and emotional support
Many elderly patients in healthcare facilities often experience loneliness and isolation, which can negatively impact their mental and emotional well-being. A startup could create a platform that connects elderly patients with volunteer companions who can spend quality time with them, providing social interaction and emotional support. This would not only enhance the well-being of elderly patients but also alleviate the burden on healthcare staff. The estimated market size for elderly care services is approximately $100 billion globally.
