Make it count

Empower people with special needs/conditions

    1. Alzheimer's Special (and those with hand tremor conditions) Apparel

    0
    Every online and offline store, especially popular ones, must have a special apparel alteration (at least for buttoned apparel/tops) option for people with Alzheimer's/hand-tremor-condition/fractured handed people requiring assistance etc. while placing an order... and the apparel manufacturer can then for a special fee, replace the regular buttons with magnetic buttons that snap-click.

    This will go a long way in supporting the people, making them self-reliant, boosting their self-confidence, and enabling them to enjoy popular fashion.

    I would love the day when every retailer has this as a default option to pick. Nothing wrong in charging a little extra for the labor that goes in - am sure empowering people will go a long way

    2. Smart phone for seniors and/or visually challenged

    0
    Most seniors need a just a few messaging apps, with minimal interfaces... make a customer version of such mobile apps, pre-load them into a rugged smartphone, and enables tactile touch experience (not regular smartphone touch); this can even be used by visually challenged people... and develop apps for survival for them in mind

    3. Hyper-local vernacular app

    0
    Most apps and products are built with features for English people. A big-market awaits in non-english speaking markets... in non-romance language nations. Enable and empower who have access to smartphone but not the language of english, or western langugages... hyper-localized apps

Yes with #2. I wonder how it feels like to be in their shoes, it must be difficult that's why we need to use technology to help them. For #3, this is also good! When I went to Spain, it was a bit difficult because I didn't know how to speak Spanish. Have you tried going to a foreign country and having such problem?
