'Digital Health Technology to promote physical and social activity in older people: The GOALD project'

Physical activity has established benefits for healthy ageing. Increasingly digital technologies are being used as tools to support physical and social activity among the growing older adult population and can improve quality of life. The GOALD project is a 3-year interdisciplinary research project in Scotland and Southwest England delivering and evaluating digital resources to support physical activity in older people. The project explored and evaluated feasibility of using digital technologies to support physical activity and support businesses to develop related products and services to enhance support for physical activity in older adults. Findings and implications will be presented.
