First seen Apr 13, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a 9-week digital literacy training program could help older women (55+) feel more confident using physical activity apps. 63 women who already used such apps were split into two groups: one received weekly face-to-face training, the other continued as usual. Researchers measured changes in eHealth literacy, app acceptance, and intentions to stay active.
