Summary

This study tests whether smart devices and a habit-coaching app can help older adults (65+) stay active and healthy. Thirty participants will use a smartwatch and sleep mat with either a personalized coaching app or a standard app, or just receive an education leaflet. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Smart devices (smartwatch and sleep mat) with a 'Healthy Habits' app for coaching and data feedback
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that digital tools help older adults adopt healthier habits, potentially reducing frailty.
What could go wrong: This is a small feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is short-term and may not lead to lasting changes.
