Effects of a Video-based mHealth Program

Homebound older adults are among the highest users in health care systems. The high use of health care services is related to their physical limitations compounded by complex health and social care needs. Homebound older adults can be difficult to reach because they seldom participate and engage in community services due to their functional limitations, which leaves their health needs largely unrecognized at an earlier stage. This study tries to bring this group of older adults to the providers' attention and design a health-social oriented self-care mHealth program and subject it to empirical testing.
