Objectives

Narrative objectives1

As the number of older adults requiring long-term care increases with the aging of society, disability prevention is an urgent issue. However, many older adults are not actively engaged in disability prevention on their own. It is said that environmental factors such as the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic, lack of knowledge about the disability prevention, and difficulties in going out prevent them from participating in disability prevention activities. Therefore, in order to encourage participation in disability prevention, it is considered important to provide appropriate information on disability prevention measures that can be implemented even in daily life.

The risk factors for requiring long-term care are roughly summarized in the following four areas: deterioration of physical functions, deterioration of activities of daily living, deterioration of oral functions, and deterioration of nutritional status. In order to maintain and improve the physical functions and quality of life of the older adults, it is important to support the implementation of preventive measures in these four areas, depending on the condition of the individual.

We have developed a smartphone application that supports the older adults in selecting and implementing disability preventive measures in these four areas according to their own conditions.

In this study, older adults who do not require nursing care will be provided with information on disability prevention using a smartphone application, and were asked to practice disaiblity prevention activities based on the information provided (intervention group). In addition, we set up a control group and compare the frequency of frailty/prefrailty with that of the intervention group in order to evaluate the effectiveness of providing information on disability prevention using the smartphone application.
