\n\t\n\t\tThe risk of social isolation and loneliness among ageing adults is on the rise, but solutions are hard to come by. With life changes such as the loss of loved ones, retirement, and physical limitations, elderly individuals often find themselves socially isolated.\u00a0

Dossy recognised this challenge and partnered with DEPT\u00ae to bridge the tech gap for elderly individuals, their friends, families, and caregivers. The goal was to combat social isolation and loneliness by providing seniors with a user-friendly platform for effortless face-to-face communication.

\n\t\tThe challenge was to create an accessible and inclusive video app that makes it easy for the elderly to stay connected with their loved ones and support networks. Many seniors face issues like low vision, limited tech knowledge, and hearing impairment, making technology a daunting prospect with endless accessibility challenges. Dossy wanted to simplify this experience and empower seniors to connect with their families and friends with just a tap.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
