JOY – Acute Comprehensive Care
Project Summary
Problem Identified
Senior citizens are more vulnerable, due to their lower immunity levels which put them at a higher risk during COVID-19. This forces them to stay at home to protect themselves, which leads to boredom, mental stress, and depression. How do the Senior citizens get their daily essential needs during lockdown situations without putting themselves at high risk? it is difficult to maintain good health and get daily meds during a lockdown situation.
Design Innovation
After exploring various alternatives we were confident that providing a unified system to aid elderly people to get their essential needs without stepping out, helps them to maintain their health(including mental health), improve their quality of life as it is very crucial during extended lockdown Our solution “JOY(Acute Comprehensive Care)” is a proactive-voice based personal assistant help families to care for their loved ones without being there in person during this pandemic situation.
Impact On The Society
During lockdown social isolation and fear often leads to various mental and physical traumas to elderly people like heart attacks and strokes, depression etc. Now by interacting with JOY and regular medicines would help them to improve mood and emotional health. One of the main concern that the elderly were facing was to depend on others to get their daily essentials. Now with JOY in place they don’t have to worry about running out of their stock or depending on others.
