Here's one idea: creating support pods for people, especially those in one-person households, so the members of a pod all automatically check on each other on a daily basis. And if something awful happens to any, a series of processes get kicked off (like calling family, local police/hospital, work, etc.) I have at least two friends who are single, who live on their own, and don't seem to have much of an immediate support system.
