1. Thanks for the comment! Go figure indeed haha.

2. I'd always recommend calling and keeping in touch with elderly loved ones. Some individuals however, may want additional quick non-verbal check-ins that this platform enables. Also, aging can be tough on the mental health of elderly people. With the loss independence on day-to-day activities and generally feeling like a burden to their loved ones, some individuals may prefer the 1-click check-in.

This platform allows for privacy, respect to any social threshold limitations and keeps the power of the response to the elderly individual through the simple 1-click SMS message.

Ultimately, I'm hoping to assist with dignified aging for the elderly with thoughtful - yet simple - systems.
