Problem

Communication challenges between elderly individuals and their caregivers often arise due to age-related issues, such as impaired vision or unclear speech. Many elderly people struggle to express their needs, which can lead to confusion, misunderstandings, and frustration for both them and their caregivers. This situation makes it difficult for caregivers to provide the necessary support, as they may not fully understand the needs of the elderly, impacting the overall quality of care. Improving the way these two groups communicate is crucial to ensuring better care and a more harmonious relationship.

Solution

The solution we came up to these communication challenges is to develop an application called ElderEase, which helps elderly individuals and their caregivers communicate more effectively. ElderEase is designed to bridge the communication gap by providing tools that simplify and enhance interactions, ensuring that the elderly can express their needs clearly and caregivers can understand them better.
