Fitness Trackers: Stay Active at Your Pace
Movement is key to well-being—fitness apps designed for seniors make staying active enjoyable and safe. SilverSneakers GO and SeniorFit offer gentle routines, while MyFitnessPal and Map My Walk let you track exercise and celebrate progress, whether it’s a stroll in the park or chair-based workouts.

Telehealth Apps: Local Care with Anima
Managing appointments and medical queries from home is simpler than ever with Anima, a platform designed for UK patients and practices—including the Tonbridge community. Seniors can submit medical or administrative requests to their GP, describe their concerns in plain language, and receive responses by email or text, sometimes within a day.
- Anima: Lets you send health requests, seek advice, and share symptoms securely with your local NHS GP. The process is easy and doesn’t require downloading an app—just access online, answer simple questions, and receive clear, prompt replies. Staff can help input requests if you prefer to call or visit in person. Anima supports multiple languages and ensures your medical details are handled with care and privacy.
Mental Wellness and Mindfulness: Self-Care for Your Mind
Mental health matters at every age. Apps like Headspace and Calm bring guided meditations, mindfulness routines, and soothing music to help with relaxation, sleep, and mood.
- Headspace: Offers easy-to-follow mindfulness and meditation tracks.

Staying in touch with loved ones keeps seniors healthy and happy. Video calling apps like Zoom help bridge the gap for families separated by distance. Wellness apps designed for families, such as Life360 and MobiCrew, enable remote check-ins and let relatives monitor safety or coordinate care.
