Project Details

Description

"Seniors active at home" (SenAte) focuses on the strategic priorities of Digitisation and HEPA, but from a perspective of inclusion of people
with a low level of physical activity and sometimes access to these services. 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, elderly living independently, institutionalized elderly).
Moreover, we will work to involve their young relatives on the promotion and engagement with the use of the app, then working also the
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 for the elderly based on evidence; (2) will design, counting with senior adults
this phase to know their points of view and needs, and will develop a mobile application made to measure in which users can find the
necessary resources 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 elderly to increase their daily physical activity and
their general level of health, all thanks to technology. In addition to piloting, the project aims to achieve more than 3,000 downloads of the
SenAte app during the life of the project and to reach 15,000 downloads by 2030.
