Client Overview
Our client, a startup in the healthcare sector, aimed to develop an IoT-powered elderly care solution to enhance real-time monitoring and communication between caregivers and elderly individuals.
Their goal was to leverage smart health-tracking technology to improve patient safety and streamline emergency response mechanisms.
The client required an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that would serve as a cross-platform mobile application, integrating IoT sensors for real-time health monitoring, automated alerts, and centralized care management.
The Challenges
Managing elderly care remotely while ensuring their safety and well-being presented several critical challenges:
Real-Time Health Monitoring
The absence of continuous tracking made it difficult for caregivers to respond proactively to health fluctuations.
Emergency Response Delays
Lack of automated alert mechanisms led to slower response times during medical emergencies.
Remote Patient Tracking
Families and caregivers had limited visibility into the daily health status of elderly individuals.
Data Integration & Accuracy
A need for seamless IoT sensor integration to provide real-time, accurate health insights.
User-Friendly Design
Ensuring the app was simple enough for elderly users while robust for caregivers and healthcare professionals.
