Since July 2025, we talked to over 20 care home staff to understand their needs, built our first prototype in August and ran 8 demos in September. After improving the system in October, we now offer weekly movement sessions in three care homes until the end of 2025. Our goal is to make exercise fun, easy to use, and possible without staff support. Next, we plan to involve students as session leaders and later create a version that residents can use more independently.

I, Aurel Berger, am a Movement Scientist from ETH Zurich and was inspired by my own grandparents’ struggles with mobility loss and rehabilitation. Seeing how quickly my once-sportive grandfather lost his independence in a care home motivated me to create a more engaging way to stay active. I met my co-founder Tumen Dambiev, a Data Scientist, through the Talent Kick program, where we connected over our shared mission to improve the quality of life of older adults.
