We set out to learn from our elders & devise technology to make their lives easier.
The Whiz Button is intended to address challenges facing the growing 65+ population and their caregivers. Through the development of this product, we looked to uncover key firsthand insights from our intended users and relevant design solutions, iterating on our designs through a UCD (user-centered design) process. Primarily inspired by the idea designing for our elderly family members and future selves, we have mapped a simple system that includes a programmable button and app for easy task execution for individuals over 65. The button and user onboarding/management app will help to connect 65+ individuals to a range of services at the press of a button, from emergency assistance to transportation and food delivery.
