About the solution
The population most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly been the elderly. In addition to the mortality rate being higher, they are the public that most needs social isolation, which will consequently lead to greater suffering because it is difficult for them to communicate with their children and grandchildren. It was with this in mind that Manuel Lucio Dallo, a software engineer, built Yayagram, a project he created specially to help his grandmother Felisa Romano Martin, 96, send and receive voice and text messages through Telegram, in other words, works in an analog way. The system is simple and straight forward. We have a box that resembles an old communication device, but why this old way? This aesthetic choice was purposed, to facilitate its use. Felisa connects in cable with her name on one end, on another plug, with the name of the grandchild with whom she wants to communicate, then she just presses a button and speaks into the microphone, and when she releases the button, the message will be sent and received by the grandchild, the system is common to a voice message sent on Telegram. The answers are sent to the "Yaya" by text, which she receives printed through the device. The purpose of this creation was to bring the grandmother closer to her grandchildren at a time like the pandemic, and to facilitate her independence for such communication (Felisa suffers from arthritis, and so the use of tablets or other devices that require typing on a keyboard was out of the question for causing pain). In addition, because you have hearing problems, the use of the phone is also complicated for grandmothers, grandchildren, or children, as they can cause frustration in both parties due to the difficulties in communicating. Thus, the device created by the engineer's grandson has been improving communication difficulties and longing among the family.
