Among elderly individuals, dementia stands as a prominent contributor to disability. However, multidomain lifestyle interventions have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing cognition. Taking a progressive step, integrating digital elements such as a mobile intervention application for elderly participants becomes crucial. Hence, it's crucial to identify the usage patterns of intervention features. Our aim was to implement a usage tracking mechanism and analyze usage trends and feature preferences over the initial six months of a clinical trial across various clinical sites, comparing intervention and control groups. Our findings reveal the differences in usage between the groups and highlight the most used features.
在老年人中，痴呆是导致残疾的一个主要因素。然而，多领域生活方式干预已成为增强认知能力的一种有前途的方法。更进一步，为老年参与者整合数字元素，如移动干预应用程序，变得至关重要。因此，确定干预功能的使用模式是至关重要的。我们的目的是在临床试验的最初六个月内，在各个临床站点实施使用跟踪机制，并分析干预组和对照组的使用趋势和功能偏好。我们的研究结果揭示了两组之间的使用差异，并突出了最常用的功能。
