Description
Summary:Physical activity is essential to a healthy lifestyle and influences people's health and well-being. The growing need for integrated solutions that promote active aging and independent living, with user-centred applications, leads to development projects that monitor older adults through various smart devices and dedicated applications. This paper presents how the innovative vINCI system can improve the perceived quality of life, increasing the quality of physical condition. Analysis of data collected with the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), completed by the target group from the National Institute of Gerontology and Geriatrics "Ana Aslan'' Bucharest, after using vINCI Technologies shows a slight improvement in physical status.
