Project Summary

47Billion developed a senior-care mobile app for iOS and Android and an Amazon Alexa Skill that lets caregivers remotely automate care notes, wellness routines, and medication reminders. The Alexa Skill also provides reminders and companionship for seniors, capturing voice responses as text and sending them to caregivers. The app was delivered in a beta phase with a highly praised, intuitive UI, though there were some delays. The project was delivered for Briocare, a senior-care software company based in Dallas, Texas.

Project Solution

47Billion developed a mobile application from scratch for both Android and iOS that uses voice technology to help mitigate caregiver anxiety by enabling caregivers to automate care notes, wellness routines, and medication reminders. They also built an Amazon Alexa Skill for seniors that provides reminders and companionship (music, trivia, memory games, podcasts) and asks daily voice-check questions. Voice responses were captured, transcribed to text, and sent to caregivers via email automation. The engagement included R&D on emerging voice features and was led through a project lead.
