Washington DC : A team of researchers has made technology meet the society by coming up with a new app that can help seniors live better, says ANI.

The new technological solution developed by the University of Notre Dame researchers is aimed at enhancing the physical health, vitality and brain fitness of seniors residing in independent living communities.

One of the traditional challenges of these communities is how caretakers and nurses can provide support in an environment where they have many patients. Unlike many available apps for seniors that merely track data, this app, called eSeniorCare, creates a personalized socio-ecological construct around the senior.

It not only helps empower and engage the seniors, but also provides a continuity of care allowing health workers to proactively reach out to at-risk seniors when they need help, while still allowing them to maintain their independence. Seniors can connect with care providers by sending concerns and questions as text or voice recordings.
