Slower walking or blurred vision may be signs of functional decline. The National Health Administration's free interactive exhibit, "Six Abilities Time Machine: Regain Your Health," arrives in Kaohsiung City in September, allowing older adults and families to explore physical changes through games and self-assessments.

Visitors can check six areas: cognition, mobility, nutrition, vision, hearing and mood. The activities also explain warning signs such as forgetfulness, slower movement, difficulty climbing stairs and hearing loss, making screening concepts easier to understand.

The exhibit introduces local healthy-ageing and disability-prevention services. Health talks cover regular exercise, balanced diets and ways to respond when functional decline is detected, helping visitors identify appropriate next steps.

An AI photo booth recreates visitors' younger appearance, adding an engaging experience for families and grandparents with grandchildren. Those completing the challenges may receive a small gift, while relatives can observe subtle changes in an older family member.

By 2025, more than 360,000 older adults had received six-ability screening. About 1 in 4 needed follow-up in at least one area, mainly vision, hearing or mobility. The free exhibit runs September 10-14 at The Pier-2 Art Center. Anyone finding an abnormality through self-assessment can seek medical evaluation or use local services.
