Development of Social Frailty Prevention Measures Using Health Apps

Research Institute of Nursing Care for People and Community

Professor Chisato Hayashi / Institute Director

The study will examine changes in social frailty*2 by dividing people into two groups: those who use health apps as a family and those who use them alone. We will examine whether using health apps together with family members as a health support bubble will have the effect of promoting information sharing and maintaining motivation for health promotion. Based on the research results, we are looking forward to building measures to prevent social frailty through the use of ICT.
*1 Family use of health applications
*2 Decline in physical and mental functions due to a decrease in social connections
