SilverWings App: A community platform for seniors over 60 launched - Details

SilverWings - a social, wellness and fun community app platform for seniors over 60 - has been launched by SeniorWorld. The app addresses the most important issue of loneliness. According to the company, a staggering 65 per cent of urban seniors express loneliness as an issue. As social connection and engagement are key needs for the elderly, SilverWings has built the social aspect of the community around the 4E's - express, engage, explore, and enjoy. 

The App publishes engaging articles and snippets every day, which provides seniors with an avenue to express and exchange viewpoints and experiences. Additionally, the app also fosters interaction between seniors who share common interests such as music, poetry, hobbies, travel etc making for more meaningful connections. 

Furthermore, seniors can attend technology classes to become more tech-savvy, explore new experiences/hobbies, host events to share their expertise or even embark on group holiday tours with like-minded seniors. Most importantly, SilverWings ensures that seniors enjoy themselves with its wide array of fun sessions, games and quizzes etc. 

"With SilverWings, we aspire to give our beloved elders the wings to soar even higher and live their lives to the fullest - inspiring each other and younger generations along the way. The app has been designed based on the feedback received from our 3 Lakh plus seniors community on Facebook, which has one of the highest engagement scores among all FB communities," said Rahul Gupta, CEO and Co-Founder of SeniorWorld. 

To take care of safety, the SilverWings App has a digital SOS emergency button. With just a touch, the App automatically sends a distress message to designated emergency contacts with crucial information like the GPS location and medical history and also initiates sequential and repeated calls to them, expediting the help they need.
