Project Overview SilverCare is a dual-sided digital marketplace designed to revolutionize how families find, vet, and hire professional in-home caregivers (badanti). By combining an empathy-driven approach with a data-backed matching algorithm, SilverCare eliminates the stress, bureaucracy, and uncertainty of elder care, ensuring peace of mind for families and dignified employment for caregivers. The Problem The aging population has created an urgent demand for home care, yet the hiring process remains deeply flawed. Families rely on unverified classifieds or slow word-of-mouth, leading to high anxiety. Furthermore, finding caregivers with specific medical skills (e.g., Alzheimer’s or mobility assistance) is a guessing game. Lastly, when a primary caregiver falls ill, families face an immediate crisis, with no quick way to find an emergency replacement. The Solution & Features SilverCare transforms a stressful, multi-week ordeal into a few seamless clicks through a secure mobile application: Smart Matching Algorithm: Families detail the senior's medical needs, routine, and personality. The app instantly pairs them with caregivers holding the exact required certifications and compatibility traits. SOS Emergency Mode: A one-tap feature that broadcasts urgent requests to geolocated, available caregivers for immediate, short-term coverage during sudden absences. Trust & Safety: Every profile undergoes rigorous identity, background, and certification verification, backed by transparent family reviews. Bureaucracy & Payments: The platform generates legally compliant contract templates and manages digital payments, reducing informal labor risks. Social Impact SilverCare provides vulnerable seniors with personalized, dignified care while empowering caregivers with a safe, fair-paying, and formalized professional network.
