‘CARE4U’ APP

‘CARE4U’ app will connect the caregiver to the elderly person.

• The app will inform the caregiver when the elderly person falls down with the exact location.
• Application is built by students of IIT Kharagpur.
• The app is a network-based fall detection algorithm.
• Once installed on the phone of the elderly, it can detect whether the elderly has fallen down.
• If there is a fall, it automatically calls the caregiver and emergency services along with the exact location of the elderly person.
• CARE4U can also detect emotions and whenever the elderly opens the app, the phone takes his picture and a mood index is calculated.
• This detects whether the person is sad or not and automatically updates the caregiver with the time stamp.
• Even if there is no internet connection, all other features such as fall detection, emotion detection will work.
• CARE4U can also do a plethora of other day-to-day activities like make a call, send a text, book a cab and so on.
• The app also has a record of medical histories, allergies’ account, an SOS button, real time location tracking and so on.
• It has a ‘Medicine Reminder’ feature to remind both the elderly as well as the caregiver.
