MINI-CHALLENGE 3: SHORT VIDEO

We started with 3-4 thoughts in our mind to solve the problem of Healthy Ageing. First we thought of bringing the old age people of same town together by any digital means. Secondly we thought of connecting the orphan age and old age home by having a meet between elderly people and small children which would make them happy. Then we concluded our theme by targeting the retired persons and making a prototype of the application which would include some games, jobs or they can write their incomplete wishes which can be completed by someone interested. We basically divided our app in three parts:

I Wished: For Mental Satisfaction

Games: For Entertainment

Jobs: For Economic Stability

MINI CHALLENGE 2: THE PROBLEM SPACE

We are focusing on the need of  verbal social interaction among the elderly people which is the main cause of loneliness among them.  51% of elderly people around the world are lonely. The elders who live alone mainly has the need of verbal social interaction. The need is not addressed because most of the current existing designs concentrate on the virtual social interaction.

The solution to this problem is that we want to slightly manipulate the current social websites and work hand in hand with them such that there will not be only virtual interaction but also meeting in person like celebrating their birthdays or festivals together, etc.
