The current COVID-19 pandemic has created a situation in which elderly people are both isolated and increasingly anxious about their health. Studies show that isolation is associated with depression, anxiety, cognitive decline and decreased self-worth and sense of purpose. Many of the technologies that younger generations are using to connect during the pandemic are inaccessible to this population. As a result, we’ve designed a webpage for seniors that is customizable by their caregivers. This ensures that all seniors, regardless of their technological capacity, can access the necessary resources they need in a socially distant manner.

Our webpage provides a customizable dashboard or 3 pre-arranged dashboards for the caregiver to choose from. For the customizable dashboard, the caregiver can choose one of the layouts provided and add the apps they think would be beneficial to the senior. The 3 pre-arranged dashboards are:

1. Independent. This is for a senior that is mostly independent and relatively tech savvy.
2. Semi-independent. This is for a senior that is less tech savvy.
3. Dependent. This is for a senior that is not comfortable with technology and/or is dependent on a caregiver.

Our website was built in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Currently, we only have a dashboard for the pre-arranged independent option. Some improvements we'd like to make our website include:

1. Making the dashboard fully customizable by allowing for dragging and dropping of the apps/modules;
2. Completing the pre-arranged dashboards for semi-independent and dependent seniors;
3. Implementing WAI-ARIA standards to make the user side more accessible for individuals with visual, cognitive, or other impairment; and
4. Creating pop-up reminders for medication and exercise.
