The problem to be solved in the context of sedentary lifestyle in the elderly in Peru has multiple dimensions that must be addressed in a comprehensive manner. In the first place, the lack of adequate physical activity in older adults can lead to a deterioration in their quality of life, increasing the risk of developing chronic diseases and reducing their physical capacity. The findings of the 2020 National Household Survey (Enaho) indicate that 77.9% of the elderly in Peru suffer from chronic diseases, which may be related to a sedentary lifestyle in this population (National Institute of Statistics and Informatics, 2020). A significant growth in the population of older adults has been identified in Peru and worldwide, which raises the need to find effective solutions to meet their needs. Sedentary lifestyle and chronic diseases are common problems in this population, which highlights the importance of promoting adequate physical activity and a balanced diet. In addition, ensuring access to adequate health care services, emotional and social support, as well as safe housing and a sufficient pension are fundamental aspects to improve their quality of life. The profile of the elderly user in Peru is diverse in terms of income, physical and mental health, family support, and use of technology. Although most users value the importance of physical activity and healthy eating, they may face challenges in maintaining these practices due to physical limitations, ignorance, or lack of resources. The solution proposed in this study stands out for its holistic approach, which addresses physical, nutritional and psychological aspects of the well-being of the elderly. The application creates a virtual community where users can access personalized guidance, resources and tools to improve their quality of life. In addition, the solution is distinguished by its ability to combine different services in a single application and promote social participation through the virtual community. The Net Present Value (VAN) of the investment is S/ 2,697,166.00, which indicates that the project generates a positive flow of income over time. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 253.22%, which indicates that the project is highly profitable and has a significant return on the investment made. The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) used to evaluate the profitability of the project is 12.76%, which represents the discount rate used to calculate the NPV. This implies that the project must generate income greater than 13.84% to be considered financially viable. The relationship between the Customer Lifetime Value (CTVC) and the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) also demonstrates that the investment in each customer will generate profits for the company. In addition, the study evaluates the impact of the proposal in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3 and 10. The application aimed at older adults aligns with these objectives by addressing specific goals related to health and well-being, as well as the reduction of inequalities.
