Health Apps for the Elderly 
This online module is addressed to trainees.
Objectives
This module is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to use Apps for specific goals in important key areas of healthy ageing and activities of daily living (ADL). Thus, this course will deliver theoretical inputs to understand ageing processes, to increase awareness about the possibilities to create beneficial conditions for ageing processes and to increase awareness about possibilities to regain abilities and/or self-management for ADL. The module will provide basic knowledge about available apps for this purpose and will provide examples of real-life integration scenarios. Participants will also acquire critical reflection skills and apply them to their own lives or the lives of their elderly loved ones, in order to make informed decisions about app selection, and integration into their everyday life, if they wish so. Through knowledge acquisition, reflection, interactive sessions, practical exercises, real-life scenarios examples, goal setting and discussions, participants will gain confidence in using apps as valuable tools for healthy and active ageing.
