Abstract
According to Statista global report 2020, worldwide smartphone adoption is over 3.5 billion users given the world population of 7.8 billion for the same period [1]. The world’s most populous country China has about 851 million users which is 146% over the second highest populous country which is noteworthy and in well developed country like US it is about 260 million users who have adopted smart phones. This clearly shows the split in adoption of smart technologies among the people globally. We understand that still a sizeable population does not have access to smart devices yet. However, for better and safe living, we aim to develop a solution that is compatible with all types of devices and improve inclusivity among the various sect of people. This paper aims to create smartness in applications to touch the lives of people rather than merely relying upon smart devices usage.
