Problem Statement

Seniors living alone need to be regularly monitored at home to ensure their well-being and detect emergencies. Due to a lack of daily support and monitoring, there has been an increase in cases (32 in 2023, according to AIC) where seniors passed away unnoticed.

Proposed Solution

HeartBeat is a simple and easy-to-use device that helps keep seniors safe and gives peace of mind to their caregivers. Seniors just need to check-in via the app once a day and let their caregivers know they’re okay. If they forget to check in, HeartBeat automatically sends a text message to their caregiver, so they can follow up quickly. HeartBeat is designed to be senior-friendly, making it easy for anyone to use without needing technical skills.

HeartBeat helps seniors stay independent while making sure their loved ones are always in the loop. It also creates a daily habit that gives seniors a sense of security and connection. With its practical design and ability to grow with users’ needs, HeartBeat is making it easier for families and communities to care for their elderly loved ones.
