The problem

Insufficient activities in institutions

Most institutions report that there are no qualified personnel to organize activities. Existing solutions require too many resources (time, investment, personnel) and are not the most adequate. The staff ratio does not allow adapting activities to the heterogeneity of individuals.

97 %

of older people's days in institutions are sedentary [1]

89 %

of institutions that care for older people report a lack of staff [2]

70 %

of health expenditures are related to illnesses resulting from inactivity [3]

77 %

of people with disabilities would like to be more active [4]

Why Actif?

Diversity of adapted activities

We provide unlimited access to +2000 physical activity and cognitive stimulation exercises with different intensities, defined through scientific assessment scales, integrated within the platform, allowing the recording of the evolution of each client.

Better resource management

Our intelligent platform suggests activity plans for groups of people or individuals, reducing time spent managing activities and thus allowing greater attention to users, and more activities at an affordable cost.

Accessibility

The Actif platform is compatible with various devices with Internet access, such as Smart TV, Tablet, Computer or Smartphone. It is possible to use the equipment that already exists in the Institution, reducing the initial investment cost.

Familiar format

Our videos are a familiar and engaging format, like a TV show, but healthy. And unlike games, it does not force you to respond, reducing frustration and resistance to carrying out activities.
