Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore Chinese older adults' experiences of using digital health interventions and their perspectives of a digital falls prevention program (KOKU), to explore acceptability for its use in their daily life. Participants' needs and preferences will be incorporated into the existing KOKU digital program to improve user-experience, engagement and digital inclusion of Chinese older adults living in the UK. Conducting interviews with Chinese older adults in community settings provide a better understanding of cultural factors when co-designing digital health applications.
