  • Abstract
    “Successful aging” or aging well is a very complex process. This process is usually defined as having the following components: managing chronic conditions, maintaining physical and mental health, social engagement. There exist many solutions in isolation for these individual components that assist in aging well. However, while these components in isolation can work, we believe that the real strength of these components is in their synergism-in their combined power to help seniors in aging well. We are developing a unified framework “eSeniorCare”, which addresses all of these components together. It is a mobile platform that has the following features: medication scheduling, daily activity tracker. As a part of this framework, sessions are conducted to provide motivational lectures in aging. In this paper, we present the first phase of the framework.
