Background: Physical inactivity among older adults persists as one of the global burdens. Older adults' physical activity (PA) levels decline simultaneously with age, causing health problems and poor outcomes. Immersive interventions, such mixed reality virtual coaches, are gaining potential to provide innovative solutions prevent adults. However, an in-depth understanding experience in using virtual-coach-driven exercise programs remains unexplored. Purpose: This study explored experiences community-dwelling a program. Design: applied phenomenological design qualitative approach determine lived about mother project, "Move Groove for Adults Program" (Hataw at Sigla para kay Lolo Lola), program MR. A semi-structured interview guide was crafted consisting three domains (acceptability, barriers, facilitators), each two open-ended questions. MAXQDA used thematically analyze data. Results: Nine key informants shared their coach-driven reality. Four themes were identified describing program: (1) "Looking around": Exploring MR technology, (2) after": Engaging peers, (3) at": Examining issues technology devices, (4) Ahead": Envisioning future exercises. Conclusions: The findings this introduced new concepts challenged old notions regarding technological engagement. enabled participants explore novel methodology, enhance peer relationships, examine issues, envision possibilities technology. These outcomes pertinent progressing studies, scholars, developers incorporating into gerontechnology wellness fullness life aging population. project retrospectively registered [ID NCT06136468].

This study investigates the factors influencing older consumers’ word of mouth and intention to use meal planner applications, given that 57% Malaysians aged 60 above are active Internet users. The current utilized an extended technology acceptance model stimulus organism response framework examine cognitive-affective dichotomy usage influence. respondents were initially selected through purposive sampling further screened using filter questions ensure alignment with objectives, resulting in data collected from 392 elderly individuals across various demographic regions Malaysia. analysis was conducted Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) SmartPLS. results indicated cognitive (subjective norm, facilitating conditions, app characteristics) positively impacted affective components (perceived usefulness perceived ease use), which, turn, enhanced attitudes toward these applications. Furthermore, openness change gender observed moderate relationship between conative responses (word behavioral intention). provides new insights into aging population on food-related mobile applications governments, food service-based organizations, restaurants, designers. Thus, focus can be improving characteristics conditions enhance while also considering how may influence behaviors.

How well can older adults adapt to retrofitted spaces that were never designed meet their evolving needs? Retrofitted senior living facilities often magnify safety risks purpose-built environments are specifically mitigate, forcing with functional limitations contend bathroom ill-suited needs. Among these, microenvironments stand out as critical zones of vulnerability, warranting immediate investigation. This study explored the lived experiences in facilities, focusing on how unique these settings impact safety, autonomy, and fall risks. In-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted 14 four urban facilities. Moustakas' transcendental phenomenology Modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method employed analyze data. Four primary themes emerged: navigating barriers, psychological strain daily navigation, through adaptation, economic cultural barriers safety. The findings expose a stark reality: frequently fail accessibility needs adults, them compromise both dignity independence. These systemic shortcomings highlight focus for retrofitting efforts: functionality, create promote autonomy reduce Anything less is not just missed opportunity-it failure respect fundamental rights well-being an aging population.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical role of social interaction technologies (SITs) in mitigating loneliness and isolation, particularly among older adults. However, challenges such as digital divide, physical cognitive declines, literacy gaps persist. This article seeks to explore drivers, drawbacks, prospects SITs' adoption during pandemic. paper employs a narrative review approach, using targeted phrases keywords, including "COVID-19 engagement," "digital usage adults/people COVID-19," "drivers COVID-19." Articles were retrieved through Google Scholar searches conducted between October 2023 December 2024. In line with key findings, we propose evidence-based recommendations, user-centered communication technology design, need balance engagement healthy activity, personalized programs, enhance accessibility usability for

Purpose As climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, ensuring thermal comfort for older adults is magnified in tropical senior living environments. This study explores the lived experiences of adults' facilities a and how these impact their overall well-being. Design/methodology/approach Employing Moustakas' transcendental phenomenology Modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method, this investigated through semi-structured interviews with 28 participants six urban Malaysia. Findings Four primary themes emerged: fabric function; atmospheric conditions dynamics; dynamics environmental comfort; temperature tensions stress, sound, sensitivity. Our findings underscore importance considering multisensory multi-faceted nature adults, sensory aspects, early life experiences, cultural practices, personal preferences, particularly climates.

Studying aging now requires going beyond the bio-psycho-social model and incorporating a broader multidisciplinary view capable of capturing ultimate complexity being human that is expressed as individuals age. Current demographic trends lengthening life expectancies allow observation long-lived in full health. These super-agers are no longer an exception. Indeed, can have good quality even over age 70 living with chronic or neurodegenerative diseases. This change driven part by cohort effect observed people who about to today (e.g., better schooling, more advanced health conditions, technologization) but so gradual overcoming ageist views. An aged person seen quitter rather one empowered direct their own trajectory potentially healthy longevity. According this vision, article proposes situated lifespan perspective for study integrates pedagogical models developmental ecology psychological theories optimal experience understand individual motivational on aging. At same time, it does not disregard analyzing daily cultural contexts which everyone situates guide trajectories. Nor forget body-mind (embodied) organisms that, through motivations, seize opportunities action (affordances) evolve way during lifespan. theoretical reflection sheds new light process future longevity research.
