Hey turbo dweebs. Is there a UK version of something like this?

Ideally either no subscription fees, no connectivity required, and definitely good privacy, idfk.
At the very least, is there a DIY or open source of something similar?

A 30-Second Chair Test May Help Predict Health Risks in Older Adults

A recent study conducted in Spain has found that a simple 30-second 'chair test' could help predict health risks in adults over the age of 65. The test involves repeatedly sitting down and standing up from a standard chair without using armrests for 30 seconds. Researchers assessed nearly 2,000 participants, measuring their 'sit-to-stand' power relative to their body weight, and found that lower scores were associated with a higher risk of falls, fractures, hospitalisation, and early mortality. For instance, men aged 60 to 64 were expected to perform 14 repetitions, whereas men aged 90 to 94 were considered at risk if they could not manage at least seven. Over a ten-year follow-up, women with low scores were roughly twice as likely to die and 3.2 times more likely to suffer hip fractures compared to those with higher scores. Men showed increased risk of falls and fractures but not specific fractures as prominently. The test offers a low-cost, accessible way to gauge muscle strength and predict potential complications, helping older adults and healthcare providers identify risks before catastrophic injuries occur. Researchers suggest using a timer and a standard 17-inch chair, keeping the back straight, arms crossed, and feet flat on the floor for accurate measurement. The free Powerfrail app can then calculate an individual’s score based on repetitions, height, and weight.

With clinical precision and emotional detachment, Koki Yoshida's disturbing drama "The A-Care: Disusebody" turns a grotesque premise into something alarmingly believable. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/05/15/film/the-a-care-disusebody/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #shotasometani #kokiyoshida #aging #elderly

Japan’s aging anxieties fuel the disturbing logic of ‘The A-Care: Disusebody’

Amputation as eldercare makes for an unnerving premise, but Koki Yoshida's bleak drama is most effective in its quiet plausibility.
