A survey was conducted to determine the demand for the use of digital health content for health promotion, both among those interested in using digital tools and those interested in health promotion.
This study targeted smartphone owners who attended a class on how to use a smartphone (CS) and/or a class on advancements in health (CH) held in Nanbu Town. The main questionnaire items included questions on age, gender, frailty, subjective cognitive decline (SCD), smartphone usage, and interest in health promotion using digital technology. An analysis was conducted on 33 participants in the CS and 33 participants from the CH who provided complete responses to the questionnaire.
The percentages of interest in using smartphones for accessing content on exercise, cognitive training, and nutrition management were 97.0%, 97.0%, and 87.9%, respectively, among CS participants and 69.7%, 78.8%, and 81.8%, respectively, among CH participants. The percentage of responses regarding interest in exercise content was significantly different between the two groups. Furthermore, some individuals responded that they were interested but concerned about how to use the services. No statistically significant differences were found with respect to the comparison of the percentages of responses by age group, frailty determination results, and SCD determination results among the participants of the CS and CR groups.
Regardless of age or the risk of developing health problems, there is demand for content related to health promotion using digital tools for those who want to master digital tools and who want to improve their health. However, support should be provided to them to ensure that they correctly use those tools. Notably, some individuals who want to improve their health are not interested in using digital tools.
开展了一项调查，以确定对使用数字健康内容促进健康的需求，调查对象包括对使用数字工具感兴趣的人群以及对健康促进感兴趣的人群。
本研究的目标人群为参加了在南部镇举办的智能手机使用课程（CS）和/或健康进展课程（CH）的智能手机用户。主要问卷项目包括年龄、性别、虚弱程度、主观认知下降（SCD）、智能手机使用情况以及对使用数字技术促进健康的兴趣等问题。对CS组的33名参与者和CH组的33名完整回答问卷的参与者进行了分析。
CS组参与者中，对使用智能手机获取运动、认知训练和营养管理内容感兴趣的比例分别为97.0%、97.0%和87.9%，CH组参与者中这一比例分别为69.7%、78.8%和81.8%。两组在对运动内容感兴趣的回答比例上存在显著差异。此外，一些人表示他们感兴趣，但担心如何使用这些服务。在CS组和CR组参与者中，按年龄组、虚弱程度判定结果和SCD判定结果进行的回答比例比较，未发现统计学上的显著差异。
无论年龄或出现健康问题的风险如何，对于那些想要掌握数字工具并改善健康状况的人来说，都存在对使用数字工具促进健康相关内容的需求。然而，应向他们提供支持，以确保他们正确使用这些工具。值得注意的是，一些想要改善健康的人对使用数字工具不感兴趣。
