Taiwan is undergoing a convergent transition shaped by demographic headwinds and rapid technological change. Population ageing and low fertility, coupled with lifestyle shifts driven by digitalization, have made it harder for older adults to sustain social participation and maintain balanced daily lives. Anchored in a University Social Responsibility (USR) project, this project advances practice in Tainan through community symbiosis and intergenerational co-creation. We establish "micro-community" mechanisms that foster health autonomy and implement mindfulness-based strategies to strengthen emotion regulation and resilience. In doing so, we examine how intergenerational learning and collaborative making can strengthen social ties while addressing policy and institutional challenges, including pathways for senior re-employment. To gauge impact, we design and deploy well-being indicator tools combined with digital health technologies—i.e., the Happy Age app—enabling both continuous assessment and community interventions. By integrating applied psychology, community design, and public-health perspectives, the project seeks to enhance psychological resilience, social inclusion, and digital engagement among older adults.
Our findings aim to articulate an inclusive model of social development that reconciles community cohesion with digital transformation. This approach demonstrates the social value of promoting older adults' physical and mental well-being, autonomy, and participation as Taiwan enters a super-aged era, and shows how technological progress can align with ELSI.
