ECare is the gradution project of 5 graduating seniors from the American University in Cairo

Vision

E-care is a system that continuously monitors elderly people’s health and wellbeing through smartwatches. The system mainly focuses on Fall Detection and Indoor Localization. Moreover, the application also aims to facilitate the communication between the elderly and their caregivers by having a communication channel and providing real-time health data and reports.
