A Home-based e-Health Intervention in the Elderly: MOVI-ageing

Sponsor: University of Castilla-La Mancha

Summary

This protocol study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the MOVI-ageing intervention, a complex home-based eHealth intervention of cognitive-demanding exercise for the elderly, in improving: global cognitive function and basic cognitive functions and cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness. In addition, this sudy aims to evaluate the efficacy of the MOVI-ageing intervention, in improving: body composition (waist circumference and fat percentage), blood pressure, and health-related quality of life. The MOVI-ageing project has been designed in three phases comprising: i) a tool development study; ii) a 12-week randomized efficacy/feasibility trial of the intervention; and iii), a large-scale implementation phase with a 12-week randomized trial. The investigators will use a qualitative approach to improve the plataform design with the users perspective. Participants will have access to a platform where participants will be able to view videos of cognitively demanding physical exercise programs. The videos will be directed by an avatar and the research staff will be able to know the degree of compliance with the program and the correct execution of the program through the use of Physio Galenus technology. The platform will have information on how to be more active, and chat lines to communicate with the research group. Participants will receive feedback on their compliance with the routines and reinforcement messages.
