Summary

This study looks at whether adding technology (a website and virtual coaching) to basic education and step tracking can help older adults who live alone and have mild memory concerns become more physically active. The goal is to see if increased activity, social support, and stress resilience can lower the risk of Alzheimer's and related dementias. Participants will wear a Garmin device, set weekly step goals, and complete surveys over several months.
