CAREBRIDGE: Senior Citizen Help Platform

The rapid growth of the elderly population has created an increasing demand for reliable support systems that help senior citizens manage their daily activities. Many elderly individuals face difficulties in performing routine tasks such as purchasing groceries, collecting medicines, or using modern digital technologies due to limited mobility, health conditions, or the absence of immediate family support. These challenges often lead to reduced independence and social isolation among senior citizens. Therefore, there is a growing need for technology-based solutions that can provide convenient and accessible assistance to elderly individuals in their everyday lives. This paper presents a Senior Citizen Help Platform, a web-based system designed to connect senior citizens with nearby volunteers who can provide support for essential services. The platform enables elderly users to register on the system, submit help requests, and receive assistance from volunteers within their community. Volunteers can view available requests and respond by accepting tasks based on their availability. The system also includes administrative features that allow effective management of users and service requests, ensuring that the platform operates efficiently and securely. The proposed system is developed using web technologies and follows the principles of Management Information Systems (MIS) to organize user data, manage service requests, and facilitate communication between senior citizens and volunteers. By providing a centralized digital platform for assistance, the system promotes community participation, improves accessibility to essential services, and enhances the overall quality of life for senior citizens. The implementation of such a platform demonstrates how technology can play a significant role in addressing social challenges and building supportive communities for elderly individuals.
