SINDUK: EMPOWERING SENIOR CITIZENS THROUGH MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN A RAPIDLY DIGITIZING WORLD

This study’s primary contribution is the design and empirical evaluation of SINDUK, an integrated mobile application for Bangladeshi senior citizens. Unlike existing single-purpose elder-care apps, SINDUK bridges the digital divide by uniquely combining centralized medical records, one-touch emergency security, social connectivity, and personal-legacy archiving into a single, family-inclusive platform grounded in the UTAUT2 model and gerontechnology theory.
