About

Based on the changing law of cognitive function, combined with the behavior change wheel theory and the health behavior process orientation model, we constructed a mobile health management program for geriatric depression. The aim is to explore the effect of this intervention program on the health behavior of elderly patients with depression; and to verify the effect of the intervention program on improving the primary outcome and other secondary outcomes of elderly patients with depression, with a view to providing a scientific basis for the management of depression in the elderly and promoting the optimization of personalized intervention strategies.
