Challenges in Staying Active for Older Adults

Staying physically active becomes increasingly difficult for older adults due to mobility limitations, safety concerns, and lack of age-appropriate fitness guidance. Many existing fitness apps are not designed with seniors in mind, creating barriers to access, motivation, and long-term health engagement.

Problem Statement⚡️

How might we help older adults stay physically active and healthy through a simple, safe, and engaging fitness app designed specifically for their needs?

Goals ✅

Create an app, solution, or product that will:

Provide low-impact, senior-friendly workouts guided by video and voice, helping older adults exercise safely from the comfort of their home or local gym.
Offer customizable exercise routines based on individual mobility, goals, and medical conditions to ensure fitness remains achievable and motivating.
Enable easy workout scheduling and progress tracking with reminders and clear visuals, helping users build consistent habits.

Empowering Confidence Through Emotional Support

Many older adults experience anxiety or hesitation when it comes to going to the gym. This project highlighted the importance of building supportive, encouraging experiences that foster self-confidence and promote mental well-being alongside physical health.

Designing for Diverse Abilities Requires Holistic Thinking

Creating a fitness app for older adults challenged us to deeply consider accessibility needs—from visual impairments to limited motor abilities. Designing truly assistive products requires thoughtful, inclusive solutions that account for a wide range of physical and cognitive conditions.
