Abstract<\/h5>
This presentation delves into the development of an innovative exergaming system tailored specifically for older adults, aiming to overcome the challenges posed by high difficulty levels and the need for professional supervision found in commercial exergames. Building upon our experience of a commercial active gaming platform in reducing the risk of falls in institutionalised older adults, our project seeks to create an accessible and user-friendly platform suitable for both home and community settings. The core of the system is a series of seated Tai Chi exercises designed to improve balance control, eye-hand coordination, and flexibility\u2014crucial health aspects that are often at risk in the aging population. We will discuss the empirical movement analysis used to select the Tai Chi forms and their specific health benefits. Technical design aspects of both hardware and software will be covered, including a live demonstration of the exergaming interface. To ensure the system is approachable for both older adults and caregivers, it features an intuitive interface with large, readable buttons and customizable difficulty levels. Audio and visual guides support independent usage, while real-time feedback and essential safety features aim to enhance motivation and prevent falls. Comprehensive caregiver training resources are included to ensure effective support and troubleshooting. In the project’s second phase, we will integrate Implementation Sciences principles to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of the exergaming system in preventing falls and improving health outcomes. This dual-phased approach promises a personalised, engaging, and effective solution to enhance the well-being of older adults through cutting-edge technology.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
