Senior Citizen Card Scheme

-------✦ INTRODUCTION ✦------ 

The Senior Citizen Card Scheme App is an essential digital tool designed to empower elderly citizens and their families in accessing a wide range of government concessions and services. 

Developed under the Social Welfare Department's initiative, the app bridges information and accessibility gaps with precision and compassion.

-------✦ KEY FEATURES ✦------

Multilingual Support 

Users can seamlessly navigate the app in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, or English. This tri-language setup makes the service equally approachable for elderly users from various linguistic backgrounds, minimizing confusion and enhancing inclusiveness for families across generations.

Accessibility with Text-to-Speech 

The app’s integrated computer-voice text-to-speech feature empowers visually impaired or reading-challenged users by enabling them to listen to content instead of reading it, delivering information clearly and supportively.

Latest Concession Updates 

Stay current with the latest discounts and services via the “What’s New” section, which updates every two months. This ensures that users never miss out on newly available benefits and offerings tailored specifically for seniors.

Efficient Search Capability 

With a fast and intuitive search engine, users can quickly locate and filter through dozens of concession details—no more scrolling through endless lists or guesswork. The function is especially useful for caregivers who need timely and accurate results.

Senior-Centered UI Design 

The interface has been developed with senior usability in mind—featuring large touchpoints, intuitive icons, and simple navigation pathways so that older adults can interact with the app independently and confidently.
