Functional profile first
ABCElder starts with mobility, memory, vision, dexterity, routines, support network, home setup, budget, location, and digital comfort.
Method
Functional-fit labels before product recommendations.
ABCElder is designed around explainable fit: what works, what needs support, what needs adaptation, and what should be excluded for a given older-adult context.
Explain exclusions before recommendations
The most important output is often what is strictly not suitable and why: travel burden, fall risk, setup burden, small text, fraud exposure, or missing caregiver support.
Pilot labels, not certification
Current labels are prototype/pilot outputs. Future certification requires expert review, user testing, partner evidence, and a transparent methodology.
Decision logic
How a fit label is formed
The label is only credible if each recommendation carries a reason, a support condition, or an exclusion rationale that a family and partner can inspect.

Review loopA little guidance for using the pilot
ABCElder helps you organise everyday choices and prepare questions for care professionals. We're learning through the pilot; clinical validation and certification are still ahead. Please make health and safety decisions with a qualified professional.
