Vivifrail App: A Comprehensive Fitness Program for Seniors
Vivifrail App is a lifestyle and health & fitness application developed by Vivifrail. Designed for monitors, physical trainers, healthcare professionals, and both medical and non-medical staff of nursing homes, this app is also useful for professionals in the field of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, Nursing, and Physiotherapy who are responsible for the care of individuals over 70 years old.
The main purpose of Vivifrail App is to classify older adults based on their risk of functional capacity loss, dependence, and falls, using the conclusions drawn from the Vivifrail project within the Erasmus+ framework. Once categorized, the app proposes an individualized multi-component physical training program for the prevention of frailty and falls in individuals over 70 years old.
The program is based on a series of exercises that target various aspects of fitness, such as strength and power in both the arms and legs, balance and gait to prevent falls, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. By following these simple programs, older adults can improve their functional capacity and reduce the risk of frailty and falls.
Vivifrail App offers several features, including the ability to work with multiple individuals, screening for fragility and the risk of falls, and monitoring of the multi-component exercise program. The app provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand explanations for each exercise, along with accompanying videos to ensure correct execution.
