| Abstract (ENG): |
mHealth apps can especially benefit older adults with chronic conditions, but their usage rates remain often low. This study examines how older adults’ self-perceived technical skills and confidence affect their use of a mHealth app. It was conducted in southern Germany and included older adults (65 years and older) with and without age-related chronic conditions. Results indicate that perceived self-efficacy does not always match actual capability. This discrepancy raises concerns about how it might impact the use and prescription of these apps. |
