مستخلص: Background: Wearable monitoring devices, such as smartwatches and fitness bands, are health technologies for enhancing self-care management among community-dwelling older adults. While the evidence suggests that these devices can promote health, older adults often struggle to use them over the long term. Community health workers can effectively motivate older adults to change their health behaviors. This study proposes an intervention involving community health workers as peer supporters to promote sustained daily use of wearable monitoring devices among community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: The intervention group in this randomized controlled trial will receive the Live with Wearable Monitoring Device program from trained community health workers with the support of a nurse and social workers through a one-time home visit and regular phone calls. The control group will receive only the wearable monitoring device. Data will be collected at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.
Discussion: Merely providing older adults with wearable monitoring devices may not lead to the realization of the potential health benefits of these devices, as long-term usage can be challenging. The results of this trial can provide evidence for a new approach to enhancing self-management and community healthcare among community-dwelling older adults, ultimately improving their health outcomes.
Impact: Wearable monitoring devices not only enable real-time monitoring of vital signs, but can also support tailored messaging and facilitate virtual communication between users and healthcare professionals. Despite considerable health benefits, there is evidence showing that older adults largely stop using them after a few months. This study is the first to use a peer support approach to help older adults incorporate a wearable monitoring device in their daily routines in conjunction with goal setting and regular reminders. This will boost the self-care ability of the older adults, allowing them to continue physically functioning in the community.
Trial Registration: This study was prospectively registered at clinicaltrials.gov (identifier: NCT05269303). Registration date: 24/2/2022.
