Summary

Ensuring the health and well-being of older individuals is a global problem. The application of emerging technology is increasingly advocated to improve health outcomes, yet the investigators need to identify how feasible and acceptable this is among users. One example of these emerging technologies is humanoid technologies. Humanoid technologies are human-resembling digital objects that can be projected using head-mounted displays to be worn by users. This study seeks to assess the impact of humanoid technologies (HTs) in the form of digital health coaches to enhance the physical activity of community-dwelling older adults in the Philippines. The quasi-experimental study will assess the participants' intention for technology use and the participants experience of the intervention (acceptability, barriers, and facilitators). Specifically, this study will compare the impact of the Humanoid Technology-driven Health Enhancing Physical Activity program versus a standard physical activity program (video-based) on physical performance, cognitive function, and quality of life among older adults in two 'senior centers' in the Philippines. The study will also identify older adults' preferences for an ideal Humanoid Technology-driven Health Enhancing Physical Activity and the participants intention to use it via survey. An embedded qualitative study will explore participants' perceptions of the acceptability, barriers, and facilitators of the Humanoid Technology-driven Health Enhancing Physical Activity program.
