Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: We assumed three major categories of participants in this study. While clear selection criteria will be established in the final clinical trial to verify the effectiveness of the program, this study, which is in the stage of examining feasibility and usability, will be divided into three major categories. 1. Community-dwelling healthy older adults (65-100 years old): This refers to older adults who are living at home without certification for long-term care or impairments. 2. Older adults with care-needs certification (65-100 years old): This refers to older adults who are certified as requiring support or care under the long-term care insurance system of Japan. Those who use long-term care insurance services as a part of comprehensive projects for long-term care prevention and daily life support are included in this category. 3. People with impairments (20-64 years old): This refers to persons with some kind of physical impairments. We mainly assume those who have physical impairments due to central nervous system diseases such as stroke or Parkinson's disease, who are often clients in the rehabilitation field. The possession of official certifications for impairments is not required.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Persons who require a lot of physical assistance (cases where the research team anticipates the need to provide a lot of physical assistance by researchers) Those with significant cognitive decline.
