将移动的技术整合到健康促进战略中有可能支持健康行为。设计了一个新的理论应用程序，以增强干预措施，促进具有跌倒风险和低体力活动水平的老年人的健康动机。评价了应用程序内容的清晰度、同质性和激励信息的有效性;评价了应用程序和器械的可接受性和可用性。最初的评估包括9名成年人（平均年龄75岁）;其中4人还评估了该应用程序在该领域的感知能力。作为干预可行性研究的一部分，14名老年人（平均年龄84岁）还提供了应用程序可用性的随访评估。评估参与者评估的应用程序作为有效的，可用的，可接受的，并能够感觉到大多数报告的自由生活活动，并提供反馈，以改善app. Design流程说明方法和解释的努力，以操作化的激励内容在一个理论知情的应用程序，促进身体活动行为的变化。
Integrating mobile technology into health promotion strategies has the potential to support healthy behaviors. A new theory-informed app was designed to augment an intervention promoting wellness motivation in older adults with fall risk and low levels of physical activity. The app content was evaluated for clarity, homogeneity, and validity of motivational messages; both the app and device were evaluated for acceptability and usability. The initial evaluation included nine adults (mean age, 75); four of whom also assessed the app's sensing abilities in the field. As part of an intervention feasibility study, 14 older adults (mean age, 84) also provided a follow-up evaluation of app usability. Evaluation participants assessed the app as valid, usable, acceptable, and able to sense most reported free-living activities, and provided feedback for improving the app. Design processes illustrate methodologic and interpretive efforts to operationalize motivational content in a theory-informed app promoting change in physical activity behavior.
