Manage2Care is a mobile application in which is inspired to help the senior citizen. Nursing home is the place where many senior citizens that will be located or stayed at a shelter place and this is the place where trained staffs need to care for them. However, the staff might probably encounters or face difficulties such as overloaded with loads of work and they might not do the work in time. Apart from that, for some reasons the house management need to estimate the time for each of the senior citizen to accomplish their daily routine in the nursing home. These types of constraint will certainly cause the job done with the lack of effectiveness and efficiency reasons. To encounter this problem, the author comes up with the idea of a health-based management tool to help in managing the senior more efficiently and effectively. Some important features in this application consist of the application in which can save the senior citizen data that include medicine details and doctor appointment detail. Secondly, the application can forward the reminder to the management. In order to remind them, they need to save the important date at the application.
