Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for older adults aged 65 and above who want to improve their physical activity and overall health. Participants will use a smartphone app for guidance on exercise over 8 weeks.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am 65 years or older.
I own a smartphone that works with the study app.
I have reliable internet or Wi-Fi access.
I can safely engage in physical activity.
I currently do less than 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity a week.
I can communicate in English.
You may not be able to join if
I am younger than 65 years old.
I do not own a compatible smartphone or have unreliable internet access.
I cannot safely participate in physical activity.
I currently meet or exceed 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity a week.
I cannot communicate in English well enough to understand study procedures.
I have a medical, physical, or cognitive condition that would make participation unsafe.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and preliminary efficacy of a wearable and artificial intelligence-driven mobile application-based exercise prescription grounded in self-determination theory (SDT) and behavioral change techniques (BCTs) among older adults.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and preliminary efficacy of a wearable and artificial intelligence-driven mobile application-based exercise prescription grounded in self-determination theory (SDT) and behavioral change techniques (BCTs) among older adults. As no data exists on the feasibility of AI-driven exercise programs grounded in SDT and multiple BCTs specifically for older adults, this will be a pioneering study to explore the feasibility of wearable and AI-driven exercise program protocols and the rates of acceptance and appropriateness of the exercise prescription intervention among older adults. In addition, this study will test the preliminary efficacy of the intervention on physical activity (PA), mental health, and quality of life. This study follows the National Institute of Health (NIH) stage model, and it represents stage 1b of the NIH stage model, which emphasizes the feasibility and actionable processes for delivering a new health intervention. Specifically, this study will: 1.Evaluate the research protocol feasibility of a wearable and AI-driven mobile application-based exercise prescription grounded in SDT and BCTs (of goal setting, self-monitoring, graded task, and demonstration) on older adults over 8 weeks 2. Evaluate the acceptability and appropriateness of a wearable, AI-driven, mobile application-based exercise prescription grounded in SDT and BCTs among older adults over 8 weeks. 3. Evaluate the preliminary impact of a wearable and AI-driven mobile application-based exercise prescription grounded in SDT and BCTs on older adult PA (steps per day and daily duration of light PA and Moderate-vigorous PA), sedentary time, sleep, mental health (depression and anxiety), and quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Be aged 65 years or older.
* Own a smartphone (Android or iOS) compatible with study applications.
* Have reliable access to the internet or Wi-Fi.
* Demonstrate basic digital literacy sufficient to operate a smartphone (e.g., ability to open applications, navigate simple interfaces, and follow on-screen instructions), with or without initial guidance from the research staff.
* Be able to safely engage in physical activity, as determined by the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone (PAR-Q+) or physician approval if indicated.
* Report engaging in less than 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per week.
* Be able to communicate in English sufficiently to complete study procedures and assessments.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Are younger than 65 years of age.
* Do not own a compatible smartphone (Android or iOS) or do not have reliable internet/Wi-Fi access.
* Are deemed unable to safely participate in physical activity based on the screening process (including PAR-Q+, STEADI, and research staff assessment), or do not obtain required physician clearance when indicated.
* Currently meet or exceed 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per week.
* Are unable to communicate in English sufficiently to understand study procedures, provide informed consent, or complete study-related assessments.
* Have any medical, physical, or cognitive condition that, in the judgment of the research team, would make participation unsafe or prevent completion of study procedures.
