International-Singapore Intergenerational National Games (I-SING)
Abstract
The Intergenerational Singapore National Games (I-SING) is a community-tested exergaming programme promoting active and healthy ageing among older adults. Originally launched in 2016 by Nanyang Technological University's Centre for Healthy and Sustainable Cities, I-SING has engaged nearly 1,000 older adults from 30 Senior Activity Centres and expanded internationally to include participants from Finland, France, Japan, and Taiwan.
Through ARISE and supported by the Global Elderly Active Research (GEAR) donor, I-SING restarted in April 2023 and continues until March 2026. The programme is whitelisted by the Agency for Integrated Care, enabling collaboration with over 200 Active Ageing Centres. I-SING promotes digital inclusion, intergenerational connections, and physical activity through safe, evidence-informed exergaming activities, bridging generational gaps while supporting seniors' well-being and technological literacy.
