The population of the world is transforming towards the aged generation. Aging is happening at a constant and unpredictable rate. Everyone is developing themselves to the adaptive world for survival and growth for a happy and decent life. This changes in habits have tremendously impacted the way of elderly people. Elderly people need attention and care, which profoundly is a hard task for the current generation. The right care at the right time is important for old people. Unfortunately, the current system does not address this demand. Hence, to address the most inevitable issues faced by elderly people, we use blockchain technology for the right help by constant monitoring and managing a database of their medical records and vital signs and keeping track of the abnormalities. These specifics help reduce any dangerous situations during the absence of caregivers. In additional to this we store every data on an authorized access platform such as blockchain for immediate share and access of any records.
