rhythm - Music-Inspired Fitness Solution for Seniors

Sedentary or inactive lifestyles have been increasing among senior adults and have contributed to increased rates of falls, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, premature mortality, negative psychological effects, as well as other health risks. Inactive lifestyles can reduce seniors' functional mobility, decrease their quality of life (QoL), and increase their chances of losing their independence earlier in their life. Rhythm is a smart and gamified fitness equipment set for seniors that uses music, lights, and haptic feedback to inspire movement and exercise. Rhythm devices emit music and light as they work through the fitness challenges. The solution provides a convenient way for seniors to strength train to maintain muscle mass and functional mobility as they age. This solution will aid seniors to enhance their quality of life and make exercising a more enjoyable experience. Rhythm implements elements of activities that seniors already enjoy, such as social time, music, and creative outlets to improve their exercising experience. In addition, Rhythm provides safety features to reduce barriers to exercising, such as fear of falling. The set includes four products: a workout bench, fitness mat that uses robotic fabric, a fitness ring, and dumbbells.
