Abstract
The physical and mental health of older adults is a critical issue that is often overlooked. With the recent increase in the number of people infected with the new variants of coronavirus, we are facing several problems, including a dearth of high-quality medical care. iAssist aims to be a platform that primarily focuses on the social benefit of promptly delivering medical aid to the elderly in our nation. It enables a variety of functions, such as doctor appointments, medicine orders, and lab appointments under one roof, with the goal of assisting caregivers, such as family members and healthcare professionals. Additionally, it offers a chatbot component that uses a social media messaging service, to inform users of new developments and assist in swiftly answering user questions. The technology stack used in iAssist makes the platform efficient and user-friendly for everyone involved.
