Application of Technology to Re-engergize Retired Elders

CYDA (Craft Your Daily Adventure) is a mobile application that aims to re-energize the daily lives of retired elders, as statistics reveals this population group comprises with a significant proportion of solitary elderly suffering from mental depression. While our backend is complemented by sophisticated technologies, the idea itself is simple and understandable. Elders first use voice-to-text recognition to record daily activities, the content is then digitalized into a virtual diary book. Elderly are therefore encouraged to expand their social network by growing their virtual community and sharing their one-and-only journeys. Besides, the project also serves the goals to synergise data-driven policies and offer more instant support from professionals to support the needs of the seniors.
