由於老年人口逐年增長，未來相關的照護需求以及科技需求勢必提高。為了改善年長者的生活品質並提供生活協助，本研究提出一個從家庭成員的角度出發，對銀髮族友善的網路應用程式，此程式提供了時鐘、日曆、行程提醒、網路相簿、以及視訊通話的功能。視訊通話功能可讓銀髮族與家族的成員、尤其是孩童，進行更深刻的互動與談話，不但可預防銀髮族陷入社交孤立，也相當有益於銀髮族的身心健康。此外，視訊通話搭配上照片播放功能，亦可方便讓專業護理人員對銀髮族進行懷舊治療。
由於大多數銀髮族皆不習慣操作滑鼠與鍵盤，本程式的各項功能都設計成自動更新以及自動執行。此外，考量到銀髮族有許多年齡相關的生理改變，如：視力衰退、記憶力降低等等，此程式的版面依循銀髮族友善的準則設計而成。

Following the rising of elderly population, the related requirements of caring the elders would increase in the future. To improve the quality of life and provide aids for elders, in this research we propose an elder-friendly web application that involves of clock, calendar, event reminder, photo slideshow, and video-chat. Video-chat could help the elders have a deeper communication and interaction with their family, especially grandchildren. It not only prevents elders from being social isolated, but also benefits physical and mental health. Further, in cooperation of video-chat and photo slideshow, nurses could carry the reminiscence therapy to elders out easier.
Owing to elders would not be used to using the mouse and keyboard, the main functions in this application are designed to update and play automatically. And considering the aging impairments such as declines of vision and memorization, the design of this application follow the robust guidelines of elder-friendly concept to conform with elders’ requirements.
