The aim of the hAlt project is to raise awareness on the benefits of table tennis to the brain and older adults, to engage people with or at risk of developing Alzheimer's or Dementia in table tennis activities, and to offer specialised training while at the same time monitoring their table tennis activity levels and biosignals through wearables and an associated gamification application.

The curriculum for the online training program designed for the table tennis coaches have been successfully developed, encompassing eight modules, each containing approximately 20 slides. Accessible freely on the platform, the modules include a quiz after each section, with a minimum score of 80% required for successful passage. To culminate the course, participants undergo a final quiz and are tasked with presenting a case.
