Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug ABC works to evaluate the effectiveness of an mHealth application to promote home-based exercise in adults aged 65 and older. The objectives are:

Primary objective:

• To evaluate the effect of the mHealth application on increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels.

Secondary objectives:

* To assess the impact of the mHealth application on physical fitness measures (e.g., functional capacity, strength, balance, fall risk, flexibility)
* To assess the impact of the mHealth application on physical activity (e.g., daily steps, self-reported physical activity)
* To examine the impact of the mHealth application on wellbeing
* To explore the impact of the mHealth application on cognitive functioning
* To measure user adherence and engagement with the mHealth application
* To evaluate participant satisfaction with the mHealth application

Researchers will compare a group using an mHealth application to a group not using the application to determine whether it effectively increases physical activity.

Participants will:

* Use the mHealth application or not for 8 weeks
* Visit the labo 3 times in total for assessements
* Use a wearable during the study period

Interventions

OTHER

MIA

Through a collaborative co-creation process, MIA, a mHealth app was developed and refined over multiple iterations with the goal of promoting physical activity and fostering a lifestyle centred around an active and healthy approach. Content and design were derived from both the co-creative workshops and based on the theoretical framework of the intervention functions of the BCW. The final mHealth app is composed by five major features: * Tailor-made tips * Literacy aiming to improve awareness about PA and an active healthy lifestyle * Exercise workouts * Community calendar aiming to enhance social connections * A diary consisting of daily activities (MIA workouts and self-registration) To customize the user experience, a brief personal description was created as the start screen, which prompts older adults to answer questions related to their baseline physical activity level, motivation, and medical history.
