| MouvMat: The Interactive Digital Exergaming Surface for Older AdultsMouvMat is an interactive digital gaming surface to provide physical activity, cognitive stimulation, and social engagement to older adults. Our systematic review found that existing exergames have potential to improve physical and cognitive health of older adults in nursing homes. However, since these games are not designed for their specific needs and interests, older adults are less likely to engage with these games to achieve the benefits. Uniquely, MouvMat has been co-created with older adults living in nursing homes, along with their healthcare professionals and healthcare administrators. It features illuminating interface and provides visual feedback to older adults during the game. The Players interact directly with the digital surface which display simplified games that are familiar and geared toward older adults. By providing older adults a fun and social way to increase their physical activity, MouvMat optimizes their physical and social health and their ability to age gracefully.
