SENATE 1st May 2022 – 30 April 2025 « Seniors active at home » (SenAte aims to promote physical activity at home as a tool to improve health in the senior population. To do this, the consortium faces the challenge of bringing physical activity sessions to the homes of different social groups of older adults (with digital skills, without digital skills, seniors living independently or in care homes). Moreover, we will work to involve their young relatives on the promotion and engagement with the use of the app, valuing intergenerational relations within families. In order to achieve this, the consortium will: (1) implement a research phase that will provide the necessary knowledge to propose an exercise program at home. (2) involve senior adults by gathering their points of view and needs during the design of the mobile application which will allow seniors to follow the exercise program independently; (3) and finally, it will develop a pilot phase in which both the app and the exercise program itself will be evaluated with an estimated sample of 1000 senior adults, thus being able to determine if the use of technology has been effective or not in promoting physical activity and improving health in the pilot group. SenAte is a pilot project with which we hope to bring physical activity to the homes or assisted living facility of the seniors to increase their daily physical activity and their general level of health, all thanks to technology. website : https://senateproject.eu/ |
