INDIA– APRIL 28, 2025 – Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-Native networking, today announced that St Luke’s ElderCare (SLEC) has implemented its AI-Native Networking Platform across SLEC nursing homes, active ageing centres and senior care centres, with the rollout expected to be completed by end of 2025. Leveraging purpose-built AIOps, Juniper’s AI-Native networking solutions helped SLEC unify wired, wireless, WAN and firewalling with a common cloud to modernize and secure SLEC’s network, while providing superior user experiences for its staff, elders and IT administrators.
Transforming elderly care with a future-ready network
With Singapore’s rapidly aging population and a forecast of around one in four Singaporeans to be aged 65 years or older by 2030, SLEC has expanded from four to over 30 locations in the last 25 years, with more care centres and nursing homes on the horizon. To support this growth, the organization required a highly secure, scalable and AI-native network to deliver seamless operations, protect sensitive healthcare data and enhance the overall user experience.
With the need for a centralized, cloud-first approach, SLEC transitioned from an IT infrastructure with 17 disparate systems to a fully integrated Juniper AI-native network. The deployment of Juniper wired access, wireless access, WAN and firewall solutions – all driven by Mist AI ensures highly-secure, measurable and high-quality connections with end-to-end visibility into the user experience, while network and security operations are managed through Juniper Mist Cloud for scalability and performance even as SLEC’s growth continues. The solution has allowed SLEC’s lean IT team to manage the organization’s expanding infrastructure with greater ease, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
This transformation has delivered significant improvements, including enhanced operational efficiency, seamless connectivity across its care centres and nursing homes while strengthening cybersecurity to ensure a secure and resilient network.
Enabling the secure implementation of innovative elderly care services
With Juniper’s high-performing AI-native network and advanced threat detection capabilities, SLEC was able to securely introduce advanced innovations like virtual reality for immersive travel experiences, advanced robotics for more effective rehabilitation and a smart transport management system to enable real-time tracking of its vehicle fleet to optimize routes and ensure the safe transportation of elders between care centers and their homes.
Digitally empowering the future of elderly care
The successful implementation of Juniper’s AI-native networking solutions coupled with its robust security capabilities, has allowed SLEC to safely and confidently adopt emerging innovations, reinforcing its commitment to providing safety, well-being, and an enhanced quality of life for Singapore’s elderly population.
