SmartMove : a mobile application that keeps you on track

Abstract

Despite Singapore being a nation with extremely high mobile penetration rates, many seniors have limited knowledge on how to use a smartphone. Moreover, most applications in the market are not designed with the elderly in mind. However, research has suggested that smartphone applications can be beneficial for them, especially in cognitive assistance such as memory aid. For instance, a task manager that is easy- to-use and readily accessible can support seniors in remembering immediate tasks. As a result, this project aims to fulfil that purpose. SmartMove is a task manager and travel assistant that allows users to create, modify and be notified of tasks. Moreover, it provides nearby bus timings and lets users save favourite buses. Finally, SmartMove is designed for seniors first: incorporating legible text, distinct buttons as well as Chinese support. SmartMove is built with Flutter, available on iPhone and Android and incorporates Firebase for account and task management.
