Nexus

Connecting all generations

The Problem

Residents of independent living homes would like to have consistent social interactions and a way to create custom events within the home.

Our Solution

Very few residents of independent living homes interact with mobile phones and web apps on a regular basis.

With that in mind, the elderly of these homes will be provided with Nexus, an interactive, voice-powered television

Nexus allows them to create social events with other residents, and set up mentor/mentee meetups with younger generations of the surrounding community.
