Context
Research project aimed at reinforcing the social ties amongst elderly people through technology.
Focusing on existing community groups created by Pro Senectute in Switzerland where members participate to activities, the Solidarity Network project proposes a web service to support their implication. The design of interfaces, workflows and icons were conceived for the digital tool to merge with the organised structure of the groups and allow the seniors to consult upcoming activities, ongoing calendar events, read stories about their community and see memories in pictures.
