Addressing the digital divide among the elderly population presents a substantial challenge

  • Su-hang Xie

ABSTRACT

This investigation utilized CogXergaming, a game-based tele-exercise program, aimed at improving physical functioning in frail elderly adults. While this randomized controlled trial demonstrated feasibility, the results are promising. The study's findings offer valuable insights into the potential for more tailored teletherapy or support interventions for older adults, particularly in the context of the rapid technological advancements in healthcare.
