Senior Care Engagement Platform With Daily Prompt Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems for senior care coordination lack engagement functionality and fail to facilitate senior interaction with their daily schedules, leading to caregiver coordination challenges and potential redundancy or incompleteness in task completion.
Innovation Solution
An engagement and care support platform that includes a computing device with a processor and memory, capable of registering users and caregivers, generating interactive user interfaces, prompting daily interactions, and transmitting update messages to caregivers, while learning from user data to adjust interactions and schedules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional systems merely keep a schedule of coordinated care, then the system complexity is low, but senior engagement functionality is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single platform: schedule management, engagement activities, caregiver coordination, and communication features are merged into one integrated system. This allows the system to provide comprehensive senior engagement functionality while managing complexity through unified architecture rather than separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The care coordination platform is designed to perform multiple functions: it manages care schedules, facilitates senior engagement in activities, enables caregiver communication, sends notifications, and tracks interactions. This multi-functional approach enhances adaptability and versatility without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
2Loss of information
If conventional systems do not facilitate senior interaction with daily schedules, then the ease of operation is high, but information feedback to caregivers is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where seniors interact with their daily schedules through the interface, and these interactions are automatically communicated to caregivers. The platform provides real-time or near-real-time feedback about senior engagement status, activity completion, and schedule adherence to caregivers, ensuring information is not lost while maintaining simple operation through automated processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform enables seniors to independently interact with their own schedules, view activities, and provide feedback without requiring complex caregiver intervention. This self-service capability maintains ease of operation for seniors while simultaneously capturing engagement information that is automatically transmitted to caregivers, reducing information loss.
3Reliability
If conventional systems lack additional functionality beyond scheduling, then the device complexity is low, but care coordination effectiveness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring care schedules, notifying caregivers of upcoming activities, and preparing engagement materials in advance. This ensures that when care coordination is needed, the system is already prepared with relevant information and resources, improving reliability and effectiveness without adding complex real-time decision-making functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform acts as an intermediary between seniors, caregivers, and care activities. It mediates communication, coordinates schedules, and ensures information flow between all parties. This intermediary role enhances care coordination effectiveness by centralizing management and ensuring no information is lost, while the automated mediation processes prevent the system from becoming overly complex.

AI summary
Provided herein is an engagement and care support platform (“ECSP”) computer system including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device for facilitating senior user engagement. The processor is programmed to: (i) register a user through an application, (ii) register a caregiver associated with the user through the application, (iii) generate a senior profile based upon user personal and scheduling data, (iv) build a daily interactive user interface that reflects the senior profile, (v) display the daily interactive user interface at a first client device associated with the user, (vi) cause the first client device to initiate a daily interaction prompt to the user, (vii) determine whether any user interaction was received in response to the daily interaction prompt, and (viii) transmit a daily update message to a second client device associated with the caregiver, including an indication of whether any user interaction was received.
