I’m a Master’s student in Interaction Design, currently in my final year. My initial interest in design started from sketching in school and has now evolved to listening and understanding people and solving for them.

The Goal:

The aim was to create a comprehensive wellness system that not only extends life but significantly enhances the quality and satisfaction of life for senior citizens. This system seeks to empower them with renewed purpose, encourage community engagement, and ensure their safety.

The Challenge:

Senior citizens often face a reduced sense of purpose, decreased autonomy, and lower engagement levels, significantly impacting their overall well-being in later years. There was a clear need for a solution that addresses social isolation, provides a sense of connection, and offers proactive risk management for their families.

The Result:

The result is a holistic wellness system, specifically catered to senior citizens living in societies. The solution includes a smart safety ring that provides crucial risk management through emergency alerts to family, offering vital peace of mind. Complementing this, interactive digital retro TV boards foster community by hosting engaging games and offer solo brain-training activities, directly boosting social connection and cognitive well-being.

Smart Ring: Helps in tracking vitals, helps them send emergency signals

App: Connected to the ring, helps caregivers track vitals of senior citizens

Digital board: Games to improve community engagement & cognitive health
