Personal Assistant Application for Senior Citizen

Abstract
The elderly Indian population is one of the fastest growing in the world. At 110
million, India has the second largest global population of ageing citizens. By 2050, that
number will probably increase to 240 million. Now a days, many people are migrating to
metropolitan cities for their jobs and live far away from their parents. In this scenario,
their old parents have to do all work by their own, which creates burden on their head
and children also worry about their parents how they will handle alone. One of the
biggest fears for most senior citizens living alone is how to access an emergency facility,
if required, especially at night. In India, there are many families at the moment who are
going through this situation. For most Indian senior citizens, the biggest concerns are
healthcare costs, lack of financial support and isolation. In addition, most of the aged are
not accorded the dignity of care they deserve in later life. Due to the growing age of
parents, increasing heath issues and deprivation of knowledge of online media, they are
unable to do all works which are necessary for them. They need help but there is no one to
help them. And if there is someone for help, it is difficult to trust them.
