ARISE Health Coaching grew out of a research programme led by Professor Theng Yin Leng, funded by the Ministry of Health in 2016, which subsequently led to a strategic research initiative conducted between 2018 and 2020. The findings uncovered a critical gap in Singapore's healthcare landscape, a shortage of trained individuals equipped to provide health coaching for older adults and behaviour change support for those managing chronic conditions. With 1 in 4 Singaporeans projected to be aged 65 and above by 2030, and healthcare professionals stretched thin by the demands of acute care, there was a clear and urgent need for community-based support that could bridge the gap in continuity of care.
