Focus on You
OBJECTIVE
Enable baby boomers to accomplish high-level wellness during retirement in order to achieve their goals of aging independently and having a fulfilling retirement.
SOLUTION
A tablet optimized website that promotes awareness, education, and growth in six areas of wellness. The Tool guides retirees through learning, reflecting, and taking action on their goals.
I partnered with Hailey Cook on this project for our senior capstone project.
WELLNESS WHEEL
Building balanced wellness in six dimensions
—
Achieving high level wellness within all six dimensions supports one’s ability to age independently. If one dimension takes a hit, the others are strong and able to aid a person throughout recovery. However, if the dimensions had not been strong, a person might not have a strong enough wellness ecosystem to recover.
WHEN TO INTERVENE?
Using retirement as an opportunity to reset
—
To ensure success in aging, retirement is an opportunity for intervention. Baby boomers that do not have balanced wellness are at a greater risk of losing independence through their senior years. This lifestyle change is a perfect time to implement a new approach to wellness. The health and wellness of this huge audience can have an enormous impact on the future of aging, healthcare, and lifespan.
