BAAT needs: Tailor-made exercise
Home > Projects > Bewegen op mAAT: Creatief behoefte onderzoek
Healthy exercise is essential for promoting and restoring the physical independence of older adults. However, it is often unclear to professionals how the individual older person can be provided with suitable activities that fit with the person’s capabilities, individual preferences, personal characteristics or general context.
With this project, we investigated the characteristics and (digital) preferences that influence engaging in exercise activities. The ultimate goal was an inventory for tailor-made exercise advice for the elderly: developing an (decision) aid that supports healthcare professionals and older adults in finding the fight (digital) exercise solution.
This preliminary research focused on novel approaches for supporting older adults and healthcare professionals in finding suitable (digital) exercise activities. With the help of creative techniques (such as remote discovery sessions with MIRO) and the ‘one week in the life of’ activity toolkit, we aimed to broaden our view with regard to the question of articulation and subsequently to a better understanding of the true needs of the older adults and other parties involved.
