노인들이 독립심을 갖도록 돕는 앱

Share:

고령자를 위한 근력 및 균형 앱인 ACC의 Nymbl이 출시 1주년을 맞이했습니다.지난 한 해 동안 33,000명 이상의 뉴질랜드 노인들이 이 무료 앱을 다운로드했습니다. 이 앱을 통해 안정감을 유지하고 자신감을 유지할 수 있습니다.

Nymbl은 고령자가 균형을 확인하고, 유지하고, 개선할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다.“낙상은 특히 골절로 이어지는 경우 사람의 삶의 질에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.ACC의 부상 예방 프로그램 책임자인 제임스 휘태커 (James Whitaker) 는 “우리는 처음부터 낙상을 방지하는 것을 목표로 한다”고 말했다.

작년 4월에 출시된 이 앱은 낙상과 골절을 예방하는 것을 목표로 하는 ACC의 Live Stronger for Longer 프로그램의 일부입니다.Nymbl은 간단한 신체 움직임과 간단한 두뇌 게임 (예: 퀴즈) 을 결합하여 심신을 자극합니다.이 듀얼 태스킹 방식은 단순한 신체 운동보다 균형을 빠르게 향상시키는 것으로 과학적으로 입증되었습니다.

낙상은 뉴질랜드에서 가장 흔한 부상 원인으로 전체 ACC 클레임의 39% 를 차지합니다.낙상으로 인한 가장 심각한 부상은 골절과 머리 부상입니다.매년 65세 이상 인구 3명 중 1명이 낙상으로 부상을 입는 등 나이가 들수록 낙상 빈도가 증가합니다.80세가 되면 이 수치는 두 명 중 한 명으로 증가합니다.

낙상으로 인한 부상은 독립성 상실, 사회적 고립, 외로움으로 이어질 수 있으며, 이로 인해 낙상 및 낙상 부상의 위험이 더욱 높아질 수 있습니다.지역사회에 거주하는 65세 이상 인구 중 약 30% 가 일 년에 한 번 이상 쓰러지고, 10~ 20% 는 입원이 필요합니다.

제임스는 “우리는 뉴질랜드 사람들이 일어서서 독립을 즐기고 원하는 삶을 영위할 수 있도록 돕고 싶다”고 말했다.“우리는 넘어지는 것이 노화 과정의 일부라는 생각을 떨쳐내고 싶습니다.대부분의 낙상은 예방할 수 있습니다.”

ACC의 Live Stronger for Longer 부상 예방 프로그램에는 두 가지 예방 도구가 있습니다.첫째, 전국의 커뮤니티 수업이나 Nymbl 앱을 통해 제공되는 근력 및 균형은 낙상률을 줄이는 것을 목표로 합니다.둘째, 골절 연락 서비스는 2차 취약성 골절의 비율을 최소화하는 것을 목표로 합니다.James는 이렇게 덧붙였습니다. “우리는 나이든 뉴질랜드 사람들이 힘과 균형을 연마하여 독립성을 계속 누릴 수 있도록 돕고 싶습니다.
