About Project
Years ago people lived in joint families. Multiple generations living together and depending on each other. So the young ones took care of the elderly and the cycle continued. But the world has moved from joint families to nuclear families. These small families often relocate to different continents while the elderly stay back in their hometown. This has increased anxiety among both – the young and elderly. The biggest source of discomfort comes from their inability to be there in case of emergencies and sudden need. This is where loT can come in handy. Let’s build a rapid response device that connects the elderly with all the partners who need to respond immediately, as well as alert their children who are located elsewhere.
