Inspiration

Caring for dementia patients often requires extensive support and companionship, especially for those who live alone or have family members far away. SoulNest was born out of a desire to create a compassionate platform that bridges the gap for individuals with dementia, ensuring they receive essential care and companionship when their loved ones aren’t nearby. Our goal is to foster a sense of security and connection while addressing practical needs like transportation, meal support, and daily reminders.

What it does

SoulNest provides on-demand services to assist dementia patients in their daily routines. The app connects them with trained caregivers, family and freinds, meal assistance, medication reminders, and comforting companionship. Using geo-fencing, meal tracking, and daily activity prompts, SoulNest promotes independence while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are in safe hands.

What we learned

Through SoulNest, we learned how to approach app design from a human-centered perspective, emphasizing accessibility and ease of use for vulnerable users. Working with real-time tracking and notifications taught us the importance of precision, security, and reliability. We also learned how critical compassion and empathy are when building technology for healthcare.

What's next for SoulNest

Next, we plan to expand SoulNest’s capabilities with predictive analytics to better anticipate patient needs, such as reminders for upcoming meals or recurring appointments. We also aim to partner with local healthcare providers to incorporate telehealth features for remote medical consultations. In addition, we hope to enhance meal tracking by adding dietary recommendations and regular meal check-ins, further promoting the health and well-being of our users.
