Problem Description: By 2030, the elderly and retired population in Singapore is expected to be approximately 90,000 -- almost twice the current figure. Despite the government’s efforts to continuously beef up the availability and accessibility of healthcare for the elderly and retired, there needs to be a means for the government to predict the optimal number of healthcare facilities that best meets the need of our target audience.
Motivation: This project is motivated by the varying ratios of (number of elderly and retired) to number of healthcare facilities in each planning area. This brings a need to detect which planning areas require better access to healthcare facilities.
In this project, we aim to create visualisations that helps users perform and analyse the following:
Descriptive
We would like to provide users with up-to-date demographic information, specifically pertaining to the aged population and the distribution across the different areas of Singapore (as per URA 2014). In addition, we would like to include other information, such as the presence of medical facilities and its distribution mapped out on the same planning area chart.
Prescriptive
Based on the suggested design above, we aim to be able to provide users with insights on which certain planning zones or subzones require development and emphasis on medical facilities based on the volume of ageing population staying there.
Predictive
We would like to provide users with a visibility on the trend of ageing population. Based on the dependency ratio formulated from the proportion of ageing population out of the working and economically active population, we aim to be able to predict the timeline on which the ageing situation for the country reaches a critical threshold (where ageing population forms a significant proportion out of the population).
