Nursing Home Check

An anonymous reporting service for elderly patients and families of these patients to talk about their experiences at a nursing home.

Comment

With 46.3 million people advancing the age of 70, 80% of them suffering from at least one chronic disease, and 1.4 million people residing in the nursing homes of the United States, there is a vital need to develop a platform which gives the older adults and their families an opportunity to choose the right nursing home that matches their requirements. Oftentimes, our nation’s nursing homes have been under-regulated and not held accountable, which leads to some serious and widespread issues such as negligence and elder abuse. We wished to create an anonymous reporting service for elderly patients and their families to talk about their experiences at that nursing home. This app would provide a brief insight into how the nursing homes function, the major complaints and ordeals that the residing patients have to face, and resources that provide consolidated data on law, recreational services, and assistance on how to seek and apply for health insurance. This app would also serve to connect people through these shared problems. The UI of the application was built using Adobe Xd. The major drawback during the event was the difference in the time zones of the participants which became a challenge we needed to workaround. The three of us also lacked proper knowledge in the computer science and henced focused to making a good UI design to best represent the functions and features of our app.
