The participants choose an exercise suitable for their needs from each group to compose a program of ten exercises.~Participants use the app to plan their exercises, set reminders, register their exercise, and view statistics. A virtual physiotherapist delivers motivational messages and feed-back. At the end of each month the participants receive an email asking them to report any falls during the past month in a short digital survey. These messages also contains a new video with general falls prevention information.~Technical support will be provided weekly at senior meeting sites. Try-out group exercises (step 1-3) will be provided by a local wellness association (Friskis\&Svettis)"
