Neighborly
Peace of mind service for adult children living away from aging parents.
Today, 8% of the world population are 65 or older, and over 15% of the entire American population are elders. Many adults children; sandwich generation, are living distant from aging parents for better job opportunities and to provide and offer his/her own family with better quality of life. On the other hand, aging parents want to age at home where they lack other people's attention and help. There is a need and desire for busy adult children to be attentive and provide care for their aging parents while living away and busy supporting his/her own family at the same time.

Adult Children

hands & feet
College Students
College students desire side income and flexible work hours to attend class and fulfill his/her educational duties. This group will allow Neighborly to access affordable workforce and labor, and also reduce the cost of background checks by leveraging filters that institutions have already installed.

Aging Parents
Dealing with things that require physical labor become more challenging and tiring. Taking out trash bins to the street every week, carrying back heavy groceries like water or rice, moving furniture or heavy objects, or even dealing with technology. Getting a hand to accomplish tasks like these would help a lot.
"There are differences between digital and analogue experiences and they both have their places."
digital experience
Mobile Application
Mobile application allows adult children to connect, post requests and tasks, and communicate with college students anywhere at any time. When a task is accepted a specific QR code is sent to and received by the college student to complete the specific task. Throughout the job process, all parties can view the details and progress.
​
analogue experience
Front desk
Imagine a front desk or a reception desk at a hotel lobby that manages what is going on. The hardware product is that front desk at service receiver's home. The product provides a stronger sense of assurance, certainty and reliability for the adult child who are living away by incorporating a physical touch point, and a kind and assertive notification for service receiver(aging parents).
​
Request & accomplish
Satisfying the fundamental function of requesting task and accepting task to be accomplished.
Privacy and clarity
Maintaining privacy of loved ones and providing clarity to person who is on-the-go to accomplishing the task.
In the loop
Keeping all parties in the loop during the process and only notifying when the task in complete.
Physical product
Adding a physical layer of assurance
There is value that a physical product can add to this solution that a mobile app can't; it is a sense of assurance. The presence of a physical product allows people around different parts of the world to have clear and exact touch points of service.
