Summary

This study aims to help older adults in rural Taiwan live healthier lives by using wearable devices and a mobile app to track activity, sleep, and other health measures. Researchers will work with 140 participants to see if this technology can improve health literacy and identify early signs of cognitive or physical decline. The goal is to build a digital database that can predict and prevent age-related health problems.
