An effective implementation of an exercise programme such as VIVIFRAIL, in an unsupervised mode, requires a careful consideration of the patient's motivational traits and state, and the adaptation of the interventions to the current stage in the behaviour change process, as critical countermeasures to fight against abandonment and lack of compliance. A computational ecosystem with motivational support, and functional and performance assessment for an autonomous exercise programme will improve the robust and prefrail community-dwelling older adults' independence and their physical and cognitive health, while reducing healthcare utilisation.

RECRUITINGMOTIVA Ecosystem
Compare the number of exercises performed (#exercises per session) in each VIVIFRAIL program session to the total number of sessions (adherence) between the control and intervention groups
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
SPPB (The Short Physical Performance Battery)
Assess the functional status of participants (Score of SPPB scale) 0-4 points: Severe limitation of mobility. 4-6 points: Moderate limitation. 7-9 points: Mild limitation. 10-12 points: Minimal limitation.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
global assement
Assess the physical (SPPB test, EUROQL5d score, Lawton score, fall/ last 6 months), emotional health (Yesavage Questionnaire) of participants, before and after enrollment in the study
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
Digital assement
Describe whether or not there has been an improvement in the digital skills of our older adults by: 1- Score of usability \> 80.3: A (Excellent). Users love the system and will recommend it. 68 - 80: B/C (Good/Acceptable). The system is usable, but there is room for improvement. 51 - 67: D (Poor/Acceptable). The system has significant usability problems. \< 50: F (Unacceptable). The system is very difficult to use. 2-Score of UEQ test Between -0.8 and 0.8: Considered neutral (average). Scores \> 0.8: Positive. Scores \> 1.5: Excellent.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
