The world is facing the phenomena of rapidly growing population of the aged, in which there are more elderly people than children. The elderly people tend to live longer and hence have to live alone and feel lonely in large part due to healthcare advancement globally and structural social changes. This causes a great deal of concerns for loneliness, social isolation, and depression among the elderly. The elderly people also have mobility and vision-reducing eye problems. Therefore, it is important for the family to provide the proper health and social care environment to assist the elderly's daily living in order to enable them to live quality lives. This study aims to design and develop an interactive (bidirectional) multimedia delivery system to deliver multimedia contents among elderly people, family members, relatives and friends, and healthcare providers. The elderly can chat and send multimedia contents from a tablet PC via smart TV to family members and friends. Multimedia contents and the chat history are displayed on the elderly's smart TVs. The elderly can control the smart TV multimedia delivery application with ease by using our developed tablet PC touchpad features. It is intended to enhance the quality of lives of the elderly people by allowing them to stay connected with the family members, relatives and friends, in hope to replace the TV remote control, which is deemed not to be so user-friendly.
