Rosita is an application aimed at people over 60 who want to improve their quality of life. The search for independence is the main objective. The app works as a personal assistant or coach via mobile phone, advising each user to improve their health and achieve a better quality of life.
Rosita's method consists of a comprehensive program that intersperses activities to reinforce mental health with adapted physical exercises that help minimize the risks of falls and exercise the whole body with virtual muscle and other cardiovascular classes. They will also find educational sessions to improve the quality of life and implement new healthy habits and programs such as Physiotherapy, where professionals help users to identify pain, stretch to avoid injuries, etc.
What can you do in the Rosita App?
The coronavirus pandemic is affecting millions of older adults who have become more sedentary. This generates greater fragility, sarcopenia and eventual dependence, since they cannot leave the house as before or interact with others. One of the objectives of this application is to prevent it from affecting both physically and psychologically. They seek to create healthy habits so that in 10 years you will not have 10 more years.
Inside Rosita you will find different activities, such as:
– Do Yoga for people over 65.
– Dance for people with reduced mobility.
– Karate even if you have osteoarthritis.
– Crossfit adapted to back pain.
The classes and exercises are designed by doctors, nutritionists, physical therapists, psychologists and therapists, among other professionals, specifically for people over 60 years of age.
What benefits does it bring?
Rosita selects the appropriate activities based on your level of activity and fragility, and offers you different times in which to practice them with other people of the same level, so that you can share and see your progress.
Its founders have an experience of more than 30 years working in the field of longevity. Specifically, they rely on the world longevity expert , Professor José Viña, to create models for measuring frailty and exercise methods to reduce frailty.
Frailty is one of the 5 pillars of successful aging, and its primary focus, due to its impact on dependency. The other pillars of aging and longevity in which we carry out our activities for the elderly are:
– Exercise and frailty
– Breathing and rest
– Nutrition and food
– Social entertainment and emotional health
– Cognitive stimulation
The goal of longevity is not to live to be 140 years old, but to live all your years in good health, avoiding dependency and allowing you to enjoy your grandchildren, hobbies and projects for a lifetime without limitation.
Loss of cognitive stimulation, unhappiness and lack of emotional health, poor diet leading to silent inflammation, sleep and sleep disorders, and high levels of frailty lead to unsatisfactory aging, with severe losses and rapid physical and cognitive decline .
Rosita's mission is to prevent, avoid and reverse the part of cognitive decline that is avoidable.
How does it work?
Rosita is fun. It is not a question of putting on homework and functional exercises. The creators want you to use your hobbies and the things you already like, and put them at the service of a healthier life that allows you to enjoy more years of your longevity.
As we said before, they have a team of physiotherapists, doctors, occupational therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, neuroscientists, and experts in each of the technical subjects, so that the different activities have the exact level you need.
When you download the application, they will ask you some questions about your health, which will take you to different itineraries and levels of activity. Over time, the application will understand your level more clearly, and will be able to identify the most suitable classes for you, and at the most indicated hours.
You only need a mobile phone, although you can also connect your mobile to the television to make it easier to follow.
Download it for free for Android and iOS systems.
