Summary

This study evaluates whether a tablet-based program can improve quality of life, physical and cognitive function, and reduce loneliness in homebound adults aged 65 and older. Over 1,000 participants will use a web-based platform offering lifestyle training, chat support, and personalized activities. The goal is to see if digital tools can help seniors age well at home.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that digital tools help homebound seniors stay healthier, more connected, and independent longer.
