Summary

This study tested a new telecare program for adults aged 80 and older in Bogotá. The goal was to see if personalized support through a simple device could help them stay healthy, active, and independent at home. 155 participants were split into two groups: one received the telecare model with health tips and case management, while the other got usual care. The researchers measured changes in physical performance and well-being over time.
