The benefits of physical exercise on maintaining good health are widely known: people who exercise regularly stay fit, have a lower chance of suffering from chronic ailments and have better mental health overall. This is important for people of all ages, and its importance increases as people get older. Older people value their independence, so for them to continue to be active in society it is essential that they remain fit and mobile. As a consequence, modern geriatric care cannot be complete without a strong focus on physical exercise.
SilverFit makes people move. In our experience, people will exercise more intensely and more effectively when the exercise is fun instead of dull and repetitive. We create the fun element by making virtual reality computer games that stimulate exercise. Scientific studies show that computer simulations motivate people to exercise more and better (Holden, Cyberpsychology & Behavior 2005: 8(3) 187-211). Our system is especially tailored for use by physiatrists and physiotherapists, and can also be used in fitness and activity centres.
We have developed the SilverFit system in close collaboration with a team of physiotherapists. During development, we conducted extensive testing to produce a system that meets all the requirements of modern treatment methods. At the same time, the SilverFit system is very easy to use.
