Oldus—a mobile App that connects all around user's with senior citizens in old-age homes aims at bringing together individuals suffering from loneliness and depression.

The problem Oldus solves

Problem :

With the advent of time where everyone out there running a race to achieve there dream, we are leaving behind older generation even faster than before making the older people to feel alone and at the same time, making the race runners being caught in the trap of depression and tension. This leaves both of the parties at a disadvantages, but with some key observation it is easy to see a way to solve this problem by making both parties help each other. They just need a push though.

Solution:

We, Team Osu, would like to bring that push and make the older ones intract with people like childrens, teenagers and adults, Providing the next and present generation get inspired and guidance from experiences of older generations and at the same time, provide some love and attention to our beloved oldere people, which they deserve and need. We provide these tasks by our three major fratures, which are also the MVP to our application too. These features are as follows:-

  • Volunteering Feature: By this feature people who own some service, would be able to present it to thses great old guys and in return may get things like compensation, greetings, similes, and many contless blessing.
  • Hire a Grandma Feature: This by any means doesn't support working at the retirement age, though allow some sort of excuse to people who feel alone at some time can work as an tutor, or story teller for kids, or involve in some sort of management / guidance to the needy one.
  • Donation Feature: This one allows users/people to donate there stuffs of currencies for a good cause, that is a help to the Old-age holmes to cope up there financial conditions or make living of old age people more comfortable.

Feature:

  • Users can find the location of the home through the app.
  • Can donate various things for the old age home through the app.
  • Organiser can manage various volunteer works of the old age home.

Challenges we ran into

  • First for adding the location information for the old age home learning and implementing MapBox API for flutter.

  • Secondly managing the state of Authentication of both user and organiser in the same application was time consuming.

  • Continuous change of taste for the user interface of the application can also be counted.
