This mixed-methods co-design study engaged frail older adults, community professionals, and health professionals to identify and prioritize 27 strategies for implementing a remote physical activity mHealth program. The central result was a ranked list of actionable strategies, with digital literacy, capability assessment, family support, and personalized small-group exercises identified as top priorities.
The study used a mixed-methods co-design approach, including virtual World Café sessions and surveys, to identify implementation strategies for a remote physical activity program. A total of 27 strategies were generated and grouped into four categories: reducing digital barriers, facilitating app use, facilitating virtual group participation, and providing external support. Strategies were ranked by priority and feasibility. The primary result was the identification of key implementation strategies, including digital literacy training, technology assessment, family support, telephone follow-up, personalized exercises, and small virtual groups. The implications are that active stakeholder engagement can yield practical, person-oriented strategies for adapting technology-based physical activity programs for older adults.
