🦯 Laathi App β€” Empowering the Elderly in a Digital World

πŸ’‘ What is Laathi?

Laathi is a user-friendly mobile application designed to help elderly individuals confidently navigate the digital world. From managing prescriptions to sending SOS alerts, Laathi acts as a digital companion, simplifying technology for those who need it most.


🧠 Why Laathi?

  • 🌍 Digital Inclusion: India's aging population is rapidly growing, yet many elderly individuals remain digitally excluded.
  • πŸ§“ Ease of Use: Most digital tools are not designed with elderly users in mind β€” Laathi bridges that gap.
  • 🚨 Safety-First Approach: Health and safety emergencies require quick responses β€” we make that possible at a tap.

πŸ”§ Key Features

  • πŸ“² OTP-less Login & Quick Onboarding
    No passwords. No confusion. Just a smooth, secure entry into the app.

  • πŸ’Š Prescription Management
    Upload, store, and get reminders for medications. Caregivers can access this too.

  • πŸ†˜ One-Tap SOS Alerts
    In emergencies, send real-time location and alert family members instantly.

  • πŸ’¬ Voice Notes & Audio Guidance
    For those who find reading hard, we offer voice-based interactions.

  • πŸ—ƒοΈ Elder-Centric Interface
    Large icons, clear fonts, and minimal navigation β€” designed with and for seniors.


πŸ” How It Works

Built using Flutter for a cross-platform experience and powered by a Node.js backend with MySQL, Laathi ensures:

  • πŸ” Secure real-time data sync
  • ⚑ Fast and responsive UI
  • πŸ› οΈ Easy maintenance and scalability
