Over the years, technology has reformed our world and daily lives with amazing tools and resources, putting useful information at our fingertips. Modern technology has paved the way for multi-functional devices like smartphones to make our lives easier, faster, better, and more fun. And one of the best ways it has changed our lives is in keeping us safer. While there has been much technological progress for hospitals, offices, cabs, online shopping, and a lot of others, there are also systems we can use at home to improve our everyday lives with safety and protection.

So to deal with your concerns effortlessly, there are many digital platforms available to help those who are away from their parents in this difficult situation of the COVID pandemic. Let us have a look, how technology has provided quicker ways to communicate and manage home, security, health, safety, maintenance, payment, rent, and other affairs through mobile apps.

· Quick security alerts can keep the elderly ones safe. The user presses the button when they need assistance, and the security guard or loved one nearby is alerted to check on them.

· Simple medical alerts for emergencies. Get nearby hospital, and emergency contacts on your phone to receive help in time.

· Smart home security system to keep you safe from unknown visitors without having to open the door. Allow and deny your visitors over the App.

· There’s even an E-intercom built in most of the applications so you can communicate over the App with neighbors, guards, and society admin.

· Paying society bills and other payments have also become simplified with the phone apps. Receive notifications for payments when they are due and manage all of your necessary bill payments and their invoice online.

· Get verified and trustworthy caregivers, maids, cooks, and other staff for your parents. Manage their record and track daily attendance through the App.

· It can be too hectic and even hazardous for seniors to be out running so many errands in this pandemic situation. Order essentials online and everything they need can be safely delivered to your doorstep with all necessary precautions and sanitization.
