Eckart+
Eckart+ is a platform that empowers seniors to become more socially and physically active. The existing Eckart moving-light-route stimulates running through interactive lights that move at certain speeds. However, most people in the park are elderly, who don’t use the route as it is now. Also research shows that loneliness and inactivity amongst elderly are growing problems. So, there is an opportunity here!
Eckart+ stimulates physical activity by offering exercise routes. By making use of the street furniture the exercises are easy-to-do for everyone. Users set their own goals and time, the app does the rest. You only have to follow the lights. The system guides people towards eachother to nudge social interaction. In order to become effectively physically active, you have to become socially active first!
