Value Proposition, Problem and Solution
Value Proposition
Brighten your community — together!
Problem:
Seniors who live in care homes often struggle to find community. Their diverse abilities and inconsistent energy levels make it difficult to connect equivalently, as they could in their younger years.
Solution:
SeniorCircle is an app that groups care home residents of complementary ability and energy levels and assigns them a task that serves an overall community goal.
