    Designing for a Senior citizens always requires a "human centred approach" as it is more important to discuss and debate about the technology and design with the people who are going to use them.

    This project was an attempt to create an alternative means of communication and information sharing for elderly keeping in mind the physical and technological constraints.

    The project was initiated for elderly:
    • Information sharing within the group of elderly people.
    • Keeping each other updated and exchanging information about anything of interest.
    • Enhance companionship with fellow elderly people.
    • Communication with fellow elderly people without the use of mobile phones.

    The final design output was in form of a wearable device for the elderly people, to carry it whenever and wherever they feel like. It had all basic and essential features required for communication and information sharing.
