Effects of remote feedback in home-based physical activity interventions for older adults: A systematic review

A Systematic Review of Literature Reporting on Studies Analysing Technologies for Ageing in Place to Support Community-Dwelling Older Adults

“…• General-purpose information technologies, including mobile communications (Fry and Neff, 2009;Bolle et al, 2015;Blackman et al 2013;Geraedts et al, 2013;Buchholz, Wilbur, Ingram and Fogg, 2013;Foster et al, 2013;Buhi et al 2013;Chen and Schulz, 2016), messaging (e.g. mail or chat) (Foster et al, 2013), (Kennedy et al, 2012;Hawley-Hague et al, 2014).…”

“…Therefore, there is an extensive body of research on technological solutions to promote home-based physical activity interventions, since remote interventions removes the barrier of transportation and promotes the integration of physical activity into daily life (Geraedts et al, 2013). Eleven of the included reviews consider the promotion of physical activity among the analysed behaviour change interventions (Fry and Neff, 2009;Kennedy et al, 2012;Blackman et al 2013;Geraedts et al, 2013;Buchholz et al, 2013;Foster et al, 2013;Bort-Roig et al, 2014;Mateo et al, 2015;Bert et al, 2014;Matthews et al, 2016;Beishuizen et al, 2016).…”

“…messages) to the participants from a central source (Fry and Neff, 2009;Blackman et al 2013), physical activity measures (Bort-Roig et al, 2014) and remote feedback (Geraedts et al, 2013).…”

“…Additionally, a review (Geraedts et al, 2013) report interactive education to support client self-monitoring of behaviour change progress in order to promote treatment and medication adherence, and two reviews target substance use behaviours (e.g. problem drinking or smoke cessation), using individualized programs (Vegting et al, 2014;Shingleton and Palfai, 2016).…”
