Zoezi Park is an interactive fall prevention exercise program designed for users over the age of 65.

Zoezi Park is a digital interactive exercise program designed to improve balance and prevent falls. Created by Blue Marble Game Company, the program aims to improve older adults’ adherence to evidence-based clinical fall prevention exercise programs like Tai Chi and Otago. Zoezi Park incorporates these programs, adding the element of video games to make them more compelling to seniors.

Before starting the Zoezi Park program, users are screened for their risk of falls using a clinically valid questionnaire and balance screen. Once they start the program, users select the park and are guided through a warm-up routine. After that, they select the exercise they wish to perform and, as they start the exercise, the game tracks their movements and the park they have selected comes to life.

With Zoezi Park, users have complete control over the duration and intensity of the exercises, and they can take a break at any time. Once they have completed the exercises, users are provided with feedback on their performance. The performance data is captured and recorded to show their progress over time.

Zoezi Park is simple to use and based on a proven fall prevention training program that has been shown to reduce falls by 35 percent. The application combines gesture-based video games, wellness, and rehabilitation, turning a scientific, evidence-based exercise program into an interactive experience. Users are given increasingly difficult challenges in a fun, engaging, educational, park-like virtual environment.

The Zoezi Park can be used on a personal computer at home, at senior centres, or under the supervision of a clinician. The application is designed to support various physical, recreational, and occupational therapy programs, and it can also be used independently by healthy older adults looking to reduce their risk of falls and improve their strength and balance.
