About

This study aims to explore the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a mobile phone-based intervention among elderly individuals with chronic diseases.

Full description

Promoting physical activity among elderly individuals is an increasingly critical public health priority. Regular exercise is essential for maintaining mobility, enhancing mental well-being, and reducing the risk of exacerbating chronic conditions. However, many elderly individuals encounter significant barriers, including physical limitations, lack of motivation, and restricted access to safe environments.

This mobile phone-based intervention seeks to address these challenges by offering accessible support through age-appropriate exercise routines, motivational prompts, and educational content delivered directly to participants' mobile devices. The intervention's primary objective is to reduce sedentary behavior, increase physical activity levels, and ultimately enhance the overall health and well-being of elderly individuals with chronic diseases.
