The problem - Senior citizens would like to be able to stay longer in their own home, - in order to do this, they will need a helping hand from neighbors, friends and family. In order to carry this out in a way that will get more people the opportunity to help - we have launched an initiative, - CuraGuard
The solution - CuraGuard
The service utilizes the biggest social network there is, Facebook, and the senior citizen posts tasks that he or she will need a helping hand in order to carry these out. This could be "take me to the doctor Monday at 9 AM", "pick up something from the grocery store" etc. For a senior citizen, getting help with these kind of small tasks will make a monumental difference in their daily life.
How does it work?
The senior citizen posts a task using our Facebook App. Their Facebook friends will get a notification about the tasks, and if they are interested in helping they can reply through the App. The senior citizen might get several people interested in helping, and can choose from a list of respondents to carry out this specific task.
