The Challenge
To combat loneliness and monitor well-being among the elderly living alone, a non-profit partner needed a scalable and empathetic technology solution.
The Collaborative Team
The project brought together three recent graduates—two specializing in software development and one in UX design—mentored by a veteran Product Manager from the healthcare tech industry.
The Solution
The team developed a functional prototype for "ConnectCare," a voice-activated smart-assistant app.
The app initiates friendly conversations, tracks sentiment through AI analysis, provides medication reminders,
and can alert family members or caregivers if it detects signs of distress.
Student Takeaway
“This project was the single most important experience of my early career. I went from writing code for class assignments
to building a product with a real heart and purpose. The mentorship I received was invaluable in navigating the
complexities of product development.”
