The Challenge
Elderly individuals in India are often left with limited mobility and social engagement as their families are unable to cater to their needs due to work and personal responsibilities. This isolation has serious consequences for both physical and mental wellbeing. The challenge was to design a solution that restored independence and dignity to the elderly, while also keeping their families informed and reassured about their safety.
