BetterCare

A nursing home’s experience is not fully taken advantage of by contemporary technologies, leading to problems with:
- Stress
- Communication failure
- Refilling prescriptions
BetterCare is a web based application that clients, patients, and caretakers use in order to effectively monitor the day-to-day events and to keep a close connection with the patient.

Negligence and inefficient practices are very commonplace in assisted care facilities
Automatic prescription checker
- Clients, Patients, and caretakers will be able to accurately and efficiently keep track of their patients regardless of location or availability
Live updates so clients and caregivers are aware of what is going on at all times
- “When were meals given? What was included?”
- “Patient took a walk at 5:55PM”
Live video call of loved one/patient
- Users can get visual affirmation of patient’s health
- We intend to host web calls using our platform
All relevant contact information and current caretaker would be on the front page
- Miscommunication and lack of reliability are combated by this inclusion

Used translate in order for patients to be able to communicate with caretakers and family
Used computer vision
- Detects emotion and lets caretaker know for efficient assistance
- Uses movement of face and height in order to detect if the patient is in distress or awake at the wrong times
What we plan to integrate
- Text-to-speech API to help caretakers and patients to communicate and to notify about potential problems
- Spotify API integration to match emotion for southing clients uniquely with algorithmically picked appropriate music
