WIT Software is developing 4 applications that will bring users autonomy and independence in their daily basis activities.

An extra application is also being developed that will allow care providers to manage senior user’s information and monitor their activity.

These applications are:

• Check Phone Balance (S4S Saldo)

• Activity Register (S4S Ativo)

• Daily Reminder (S4S Agenda)

• Medication and measurements reminder and recorder (S4S Saúde)

• Care providers’ app (S4S Gestor)

Common features

S4S applications were designed to provide a

similar user experience between the different

applications.

• Applications require users to authenticate, only

the first time they enter the app, with a Live ID

account.

• Once the user configures the UI (e.g. font size) for

an application, the other S4S applications will

automatically assume the same settings. Login form Similar UI configurationpage in all apps

Check Phone Balance (S4S Saldo)

The main goal of this application is to allow

users to easily check their phone balance.

• The application automatically detects the mobile

operator of the user’s prepaid card. The user just

has to press a button to listen to his phone

balance.

• The user can disable the automatic operator

detection and specify one.

This allows future apps to use this integration interface to exchange

data and management instructions with the care providers’ app with

no need of further developments.
