Effectiveness of an mHealth Application to Promote Home-Based Exercise in Adults Aged 65 and Older

"Through a collaborative co-creation process, MIA, a mHealth app was developed and refined over multiple iterations with the goal of promoting physical activity and fostering a lifestyle centred around an active and healthy approach. Content and design were derived from both the co-creative workshops and based on the theoretical framework of the intervention functions of the BCW. The final mHealth app is composed by five major features:~* Tailor-made tips~* Literacy aiming to improve awareness about PA and an active healthy lifestyle~* Exercise workouts~* Community calendar aiming to enhance social connections~* A diary consisting of daily activities (MIA workouts and self-registration) To customize the user experience, a brief personal description was created as the start screen, which prompts older adults to answer questions related to their baseline physical activity level, motivation, and medical history."
