Smartwatch-Based Resident safety monitoring app

Care Buddy – Smartwatch-Based Resident Safety & Monitoring App Care Buddy is an innovative resident safety application designed for nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and long-term care environments. The goal is to develop a smartwatch-connected system that helps care staff monitor resident movement and respond more quickly when residents get out of bed or begin walking. The first priority is a real-time get-up and walking alert system that detects resident movement through a compatible smartwatch and sends notifications to designated care staff through a simple dashboard or mobile application. Initial features - Detect when a resident gets out of bed and begins moving. - Send real-time alerts to designated care staff. - Display resident identification and alert timestamps. - Allow staff to acknowledge alerts. - Monitor smartwatch connection and battery status. - Maintain a history of movement alerts. Future development goals - Fall detection and alerts. - Resident vital-sign monitoring. - Alerts when residents leave designated units or buildings. - Multiple resident monitoring through one staff dashboard. - Facility-wide monitoring and reporting. Project objective I am looking for an experienced U.S.-based developer with Android, smartwatch, wearable sensor, and healthcare application experience. I have access to a care facility where I work and would like to begin with a small, cost-conscious prototype that can eventually be tested in a supervised facility pilot. My initial development budget is under $1,000. I am looking for a developer who can help establish the technical feasibility, build the first prototype, and provide a roadmap for expanding Care Buddy into a complete resident safety platform. The application is intended to support care staff, not replace direct supervision, clinical judgment, or established fall-prevention procedures.
