Motiview has been designed for public and private healthcare, but is also available to individuals. Motiview gives a feeling of achievement and improves motivation and well-being by means of recognition and movement.

Motiview was developed in partnership with Bergen Municipality’s Department of Nursing Homes, who came up with the idea. During an extensive project, Motiview has been trialled at six of the

city’s nursing homes. The feedback we have received has been overwhelmingly positive, and Motiview is now in use at 40 municipal institutions in Bergen.

The system has proved to be highly beneficial during rehabilitation, particularly for patients recovering from injuries sustained in falls. Some institutions have reported that Motiview has helped to make the convalescence period for such injuries, including hip fractures, remarkably short.

The health benefits of using Motiview are well documented, and we have received excellent feedback from customers, users, and users’ families.

Exercise with meaning

Reasons to use Motiview

Motiview is a motivational tool that stimulates older people and people with dementia to increase their physical activity.

Thanks to moving pictures and sound, the user can take a cycle trip through familiar surroundings and childhood memories.

The system is easy for institutions to use. It consists of a display unit that shows motivating videos, combined with a user-adapted exercise bike.

The display unit provides access to a library of videos of locations throughout Norway that is constantly being updated. The videos include elements that are highly recognisable, and are produced in response to customer requests and suggestions.

• Recordings of nearby streets and locations

• Scenery and animals• Quayside activities• Boats and the sea• Lakes and mountains• Well-known tourist routes and

mountain paths • Norwegian tourist attractions• etc.

The videos all feature individually adapted soundtracks that help to provide a complete, immersive experience, including old radio broadcasts, the sounds of nature or music from bygone years.

Motiview brings memories back to life and inspires by providing the sensory impression of familiar environments. This is particularly important for ensuring the good health and well-being of people with dementia.

For the last 18 months, residents with dementia at the Kolstihagen care home near Bergen have been using the exercise bike regularly. Some of them cycle more than 10 km every day, whereas others use the machine for five minutes at a time.

“We started to see the effect of using the exercise bike after just a few weeks. The patients became less restless and anxious, which are typical symptoms

of dementia. Without restlessness and anxiety, the residents need less medication. They are also more cheerful, and they sleep better.

“Showing a video of parts of Bergen they recognise encourages the residents to cycle for longer. Elderly people get a good feeling from seeing videos of places they know,” says Charge Nurse Ida Saxevik.

She reports with a smile that the project has had unexpected effects. “One of the residents woke up the other day with so much pain in his foot that we were all concerned that he might have a blood clot. We called the doctor, but it turned out that his muscles were stiff because he’d cycled so far the previous day.”
