Fitness technology is popular these days, and it can help improve lives for people of all ages. Seniors, in particular, can benefit from digital health technologies in many situations. Whether they’re living independently in a private home, residing in an assisted living community or even living in a skilled nursing home, there are many ways that seniors can benefit.

Falls are one of the biggest problems for senior living communities, including skilled nursing facilities (SNF), assisted living (AL) and independent living (IL) communities. According to the CDC, there are about one million fall-related hospitalizations among older adults every year, and lower body weakness is linked to fall risk.

Many people believe that strength training is meant for younger people. However, as we age, building and maintaining muscle mass is more important than ever.
