Why co-design?
Evidence that
• frailty and pre-frailty are modifiable
• prescription ≠ compliance
• collaborating with end-users to clarify problems and develop solutions can be the difference between making something that works – and something that doesn’t
Being Your Best
• holistic approach to mitigate the effects of frailty and hopefully slow down trajectory of decline of frailty
