Project Description

HealthifyJapan is an app that connects elderly patients living at homes with their caretakers and family members, who are able to analyze and evaluate that data to track for any diseases. By streamlining medical communication, Healthify Japan aims to keep both the caretaker and elderly connected to each other via an application and ultimately democratize access to accurate, quality medical information. Targeting SDGs #3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), #10 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and #11 (Reduced Inequalities), HealthifyJapan aims to transform the medical industry in a globe that is burdened by a growing aging population and ultimately bridge divides in elderly healthcare access through a smart monitoring app.
