Inspiration

Watching elderly parents left alone while families work abroad — the daily "Did you take your medicine?" call is exhausting for both sides. We wanted an AI that cares first, so families only step in when it actually matters.

What it does

Citizen Care is a 24/7 voice-first AI companion for seniors 60+. It chats in simple English + Urdu, tracks medicine, meals, mood, sleep, and falls, and streams real-time alerts to a family dashboard. One-tap SOS, auto night mode, and a senior-friendly UI (70px mic button, 18px+ fonts) keep it usable for non-tech users.

## What we learned

• Streaming AI tokens chunk-by-chunk over WebSocket makes TTS feel alive.
• Designing for seniors means deleting features, not adding them.
• Regex on AI responses (not user input) is a surprisingly robust way to extract structured health events.

## Challenges

• Web Speech API quirks across browsers (Urdu recognition is rough).
• Keeping AI replies under 300 tokens so TTS stays digestible.
• Balancing alert sensitivity — too many pings = ignored; too few = missed falls.
