Abstract

Simple home-based physical activities are effective in the prevention of frailty for elderly persons, but adherence to such programs is challenging. We suggest the ActiThings toolkit for the provision of environmental prompts in opportune moments. We describe the design of two functional prototypes to motivate for exercising in opportune moments and to tackle sedentary behavior. We outline the evaluation results and discuss implications for future work. Motivation technology, opportune moments, prevention, frailty, elderly persons
