Improving a Web-Based Tool to Support Older Adults to Stay Independent at Home: Qualitative Study

Abstract

Users provided a wealth of information about the needs of older adults who were facing a loss of autonomy and about what such a website could usefully provide. The request for less generic and more personalized information reflects the wide range of needs that electronic health innovations, such as our interactive website, need to address. After integrating the changes suggested, the new website-Support for Older Adults to Stay Independent at Home (SUSTAIN)-will be implemented and made available to better assist older adults and caregivers in staying independent at home.
