To identify ideas that can help improve the quality of life for the elderly, Mahidol University International College (MUIC), Thailand, recently hosted the Service Solution Design Competition 2023.

The competition, which brought together nine teams from diverse backgrounds and countries, was aimed at devising the best service solution to enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of elderly patients. Additionally, these solutions needed to incorporate a feasible business aspect, aesthetic packaging design, and promotional value.
