Senior Care And Independence Support Agent

This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge

What I Built

I developed an AI-powered support agent tailored to the needs of seniors living independently. This virtual assistant helps manage health routines, medication reminders, appointments, and social engagement while maintaining a compassionate, simple interface that’s appropriate for elderly users.

Designed to act as both a daily companion and a digital safety net, the agent also keeps families informed and provides peace of mind through proactive communication and updates.
