Goals

This project aims to address the challenges faced by senior citizens in India in accessing essential services and information. By developing a dedicated mobile application, we strive to empower them with greater independence and improve their overall well-being. To achieve this overarching aim, the project will focus on the following key goals:

• Simplify service access for senior citizens through a user-friendly mobile app.
• Establish a curated marketplace of reliable service providers.
• Deliver engaging and informative content via a dedicated "TV" section.
• Promote independence and improve the well-being of senior citizens.

Visual Design & Prototype

The next plan of action was to create colour palettes and typography that would help communicate the brand’s identity and also give the product an exciting feel.

Test: Validation, Usability, Feedback

A collaborative effort between UI/UX designers, QA engineers, and developers ensures rigorous testing and validation. UI/UX focuses on usability, ensuring the interface is intuitive and user-friendly for the target audience. QA focuses on functionality and stability, performing various tests to identify bugs and potential issues.

Developers then address these identified issues, working to fix bugs and ensure the product performs as expected. This combined approach, with each team focusing on their area of expertise, guarantees a bug-free and user-friendly product for our users.

Challenges & Conclusion

Not everything went as planned From a development standpoint, we encountered several key challenges throughout this project:

1. Balancing Simplicity with Functionality Striking the right balance between a simple, intuitive user interface for senior citizens and the complex underlying functionalities (marketplace management, video streaming, user accounts) required careful architectural planning and efficient coding practices.

2. Data Security and Privacy Implementing robust security measures to protect sensitive user data was a top priority. This involved employing industry-standard encryption protocols, adhering to secure coding practices, and conducting thorough security testing to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

We successfully delivered a mobile application designed to empower senior citizens in India by simplifying access to essential services and information.

We navigated several technical complexities throughout the development process, including balancing user-friendly design with complex back-end functionality, ensuring cross-platform compatibility across diverse devices, implementing robust security protocols, and integrating a seamless video streaming experience.

• We are particularly proud of the solutions we implemented to address these challenges. For instance, to ensure smooth video playback on varying network conditions, we implemented adaptive bitrate streaming.
• To address cross-platform compatibility, we adopted a robust testing strategy across a wide range of devices and OS versions.
• The focus on security was paramount, and we implemented industry-standard encryption and secure coding practices throughout the development lifecycle.
• The collaborative spirit within the team, coupled with agile development methodologies, enabled us to effectively manage the project within the defined timeline and budget.

The resulting application provides a user-friendly interface, a curated marketplace of reliable service providers, and a valuable "TV" section offering informative and engaging content.

While ongoing maintenance, feature enhancements, and addressing future scalability needs remain ongoing priorities, the development team is confident that this application provides a robust and valuable tool for improving the lives of senior citizens in India. This project has not only delivered a valuable product but has also provided the team with invaluable experience in developing accessible and impactful technology for a specific demographic with unique needs, strengthening our skills and preparing us for future challenges.
