Taiwan's National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin Branch has been recognized for a community program that shifts elderly care toward prevention, a positive sign as the island copes with a rapidly aging population.

• The "Yunlin Apollo" elderly-care program was named one of the year's top-10 elderly-friendly technologies, products, and services.
• Running since 2018, it starts with health checks, nutrition, and exercise, then adds remote care and health-data tracking.
• It ties in a LINE official account, AI tools, and a team of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and physical therapists working with community volunteers.
• The core idea is to catch health risks early and step in before illness sets in, rather than waiting for seniors to get sick.
• The hospital also showed off a smart care glove and an audiobook on soft-texture meals for older adults.

Outlook: The hospital plans to keep expanding these community-based, elderly-friendly services as Taiwan settles into a super-aged society.
