Team DataSets
Government concessions and rebates for seniors
Description of Use: Information here could be used to better tailor activities suggested on the app. Encouraging seniors to take advantage of these concessions could be an objective of the solution.
Volunteer resource centres contact data
Description of Use: Using this data we are able to pair up new volunteers or existing volunteers in organisations with aged persons.
Bureau of Meteorology District forecasts
Description of Use: Taking into account weather variations when suggesting routes and activities for volunteers to bring the elderly for. As an example, the app should not suggest a walk in the park on a rainy day.
Indicators of wellbeing by year (Future Melbourne)
Description of Use: The solution we are looking into directly impacts the wellbeing of elderly residents, and that of their carers. Using the indicators, we can target specific outcomes such as increasing the participation of residents in arts and cultural activities among the elderly, improving personal relations, volunteering, self-reported health and quality of life.
People's care needs in aged care
Description of Use: Aside from providing companionship, it would be likely that the solution will move towards covering a wider range of volunteering efforts that will target the needs of aged persons as closely as possible.
AIHW Aged Care
Description of Use: Information on technology adoption amongst the elderly is available, which will give us an idea of how feasible the solution is. Improving technology adoption from this group would also be a benefit. Information on aged people from culturally diverse backgrounds will help us to provide assistance to the subsection of elderly who are most likely to experience isolation and require help.
