An app to keep the older community active

The aim of this project was to address the need for more services for elderly people that offer help with mental wellbeing.

The app offers companionship in the form of a virtual pet to motivate the user to complete daily activities to keep active and healthy. Offering a personalised experience depending on the users abilities.

The aim is to create a welcoming atmosphere to the app, with a companion animal which is there every step of the way to assist the user.

A lot of the older population go through sudden changes which impact their mental health including loss of loved ones, moving house or loss of mobility. This app offers a way to keep mentally active in later life and improve wellbeing.
