#DidYouKnow: Oobee
Oobee (formerly Purple A11y) has already scanned over 810,000 web pages and uncovered more than 11.9 million accessibility bugs! This includes checking colour contrast so your text and images are legible for users with visual impairments.

#DidYouKnow: Wireless Alert Alarm System (AAS)
With an estimated 83,000 seniors expected to be living alone by 2030, providing resources for safe, independent living has never been more vital. Some seniors in Singapore have a special red button in their homes, designed to connect them directly with emergency responders when they need help most!
These Personal Alert Buttons (PAB) are part of the wireless Alert Alarm System (AAS), a collaboration between GovTech and HDB to modernise the original 1993 pull-cord system in selected one-room rental flats.
With a simple press, the PAB sends a distress alert to either a Senior Activity Centre (SAC) or CareLine, a 24/7 telecare service by Changi General Hospital, ensuring seniors are not alone in an emergency.
