Community Readiness Model Applied in Older Adults for the Promotion of Digital Cognitive Training: Mixed Methods Feasibility Study
The CRM demonstrates strong feasibility as a tool for identifying facilitators and barriers that can inform strategies to enhance readiness for digital cognitive training in older adults. The observed increase in readiness scores following the implementation of targeted strategies highlights the CRM's potential to guide the development of effective, supportive interventions. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing technological challenges while harnessing motivating factors to promote the successful adoption of digital cognitive training within this population.
