During my studying of UX/UI we had been asked to create a website to answer a need that hasn’t been met yet. I’ve thought of a website for women only from the age of 60+ that enables them to find a friend near their home, while also considering hobbies and languages. They can communicate via texting, calling and ultimately, they can meet up in person. After extensively researching the internet, I found some interesting facts about our older generation:

• Senior people don’t use the computer that often.
• Women are more likely to live alone than men.
• More than 40% of the Israeli elderly population suffers from loneliness.
• American research proves that having good friends affects our health for the better.
• Social connections reduce the chance to get various illnesses, helps our heart rate, and helps control blood pressure and cholesterol values.

To back up these claims while researching I came across many women looking for female friends on social media.
