Wellness Companion

An immersive wellness platform empowering seniors with physical, cognitive, and social tools for holistic well-being.

The problem Wellness Companion solves

The VR Wellness Companion is designed to enhance the quality of life for seniors facing challenges such as limited mobility, cognitive decline, and social isolation. With adaptive physical exercises, brain-stimulating games, and virtual social meetups, the platform offers a comprehensive wellness experience. Integrated with real-time feedback and health tracking, it empowers seniors to engage in meaningful activities, fostering both physical and mental health. Features like health monitoring and weekly progress reports provide valuable insights for caregivers, enhancing remote support and individualized care.

Challenges we ran into

Creating an intuitive VR interface for seniors involved simplifying navigation while keeping it engaging. Integrating multiple data sources, including MediaPipe for pose detection and IoT health data, was challenging in maintaining real-time accuracy without overwhelming system resources. The AI assistant also required fine-tuning for simple, accurate responses tailored to seniors’ needs. We overcame these hurdles by optimizing code efficiency, conducting usability testing, and designing an intuitive UI with large, easy-to-navigate elements and clear feedback.
