2. Schduled Face-Time, you set a time of day at which you are having leasure time that you are forced to face time with your elder. This will make you do those phone calls you dont want to and not forget about them.
3. рыбалка – App for Russian fisherman to inform other where there is a bite or not. Also if anyone wants to get together to fish.
4. A chip that is installed inside the elders butt to keep track of their blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol etc. Data analysis is sent every morning via email, batteries replaced once a month.
5. Neighborhoods go on an app that anyone over the age of 65 is subscribed to. Those elders post tasks that need to be done for the day to remind themselves, and if anyone wants to come help them, they can. Perfect for getting to know your neighbors, also help someone out that is possibly living by themselves.
