Wecare elderly home management system

The influence of today’s hectic lifestyle has led many young people to opt for old folk home services for their elderly parents, where their parents can receive expert healthcare from trained professionals. Therefore, it becomes imperative to establish a comprehensive management system within this old folk centre to ensure the efficiency of task management such as digitalizing the record-keeping of the old folk residents while nowadays task management still relies on paper documentation. Other than that, this system also will automatically generate the medication schedule for each of the residents, whereas prior, the caretaker has to keep track of the medication schedule conventionally by checking the resident’s files manually to update the medication schedule. To improve this proposed system, it provides a communication platform between elderly relatives with the caretaker. The relatives can receive daily updates and send messages to the caretaker directly. Based on the user acceptance testing conducted, 83% of the respondents were satisfied with the system requirements, design consistency, and application navigation. Thus, this proposed mobile application has the potential to be implemented in the elderly care centre or similar care centre that provides similar services.
