About
CLIENT BACKGROUND
Start-up client Technocare from Kuwait approached us with one of their projects called eCare. Its aim is to use modern technology such as phone applications and wearable devices (smart watches and bracelets) to assist people with health conditions as well as their care givers by providing many ways of easy technology care.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The main challenge was to create a system that consists of two applications, one for the care giver and another for the Elder.
The care giver application shall be provided on a smart mobile phone; the Elder application - through a smart watch.
Develop iOS and Android versions of the applications and integrate them with a smart mobile phone and eCare smart watch
SOLUTION
eCare smart watch designed specifically for Elders to allow them to rely on themselves and facilitate their lives through new and innovative ideas and technologies. It has such functions as:
checking route back home
reminders about their daily tasks such as taking medicines etc.
direct calls, notifications, safe area alerts etc.
The smart watch is accompanied with iOS and Android applications. Through eCare apps, relatives can get peace of mind knowing that they can find out where the Elders are and follow up their daily status at any time. The project has already participated in accelerators and received a grant from investors.
