We hypothesize that exercise, when combined with a novel technology based intervention specifically designed to reduce sedentary behavior will reduce CVD risk among sedentary older adults.
Four themes were identified from the synthesis of the four articles: (1) participants reported positive usability and acceptability of the technological intervention, (2) participants desired more instruction and training in using the technology, (3) participants viewed technology as a means of providing support, (4) technologically based interventions largely improved outcomes.
The use of technology to promote symptom monitoring and self-management in heart failure is a not a new concept, yet efforts to implement effectively technologically based interventions are understudied.
Hence, innovative life-long retention strategies, including use of new communication technologies, community based interventions and drug refill outside the health facilities are required.
This manuscript describes the rationale, design, and baseline findings from the ManUp Study, which aims to examine the effectiveness of an information technology (IT) based intervention that uses both websites and mobile phones to improve the physical activity and nutrition behaviour and literacy in middle-aged males.
The usage and application of mobile phone technology based sustainable interventions to address the challenges facing women entrepreneurs are of vital importance.
Although research has indicated the potential of mobile phone technology in promoting health based interventions [ 18], we have not been able to identify any published research on the use of mobile phone technology in the difficult to engage Australian YAMs.
Despite this caveat, outpatient, ambulatory, or office based interventions are becoming increasingly common across all medical disciplines, driven by advances in technology and a desire to enhance recovery.
