This past weekend, Fraunhofer AICOS participated on “Feira da Família – Gaia + Saudável”. We were invited by CliniCuidados, a partner institution of COLABORAR, to display the ExerGames. The event was organized by CCSaúde, having Câmara Muncipal de Gaia as the main sponsor, and took place at Centro Cívico de Gaia, in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Fraunhofer showcased the ExerGames, the serious games for fall prevention. The visitants of the fair had the opportunity of trying out the games and achieve awareness of how one can, in the comfort of their own home, work to reduce the risk of fall by exercising with the guidance of these interactive games. COLABORAR was also present and senior visitants were invited to join the user network.
This was an event for the entire family. Adults could make some health screening tests; seniors, on the other hand, got some advice related to the promotion of healthy habits and technical aids. For the kids, the fair was animated by spider men, giant mattresses, popcorn and candies. And the performance of Rancho Folclórico was a moment of happiness for everyone!
