Hypothesis
This systematic review explores the effectiveness of digital health interventions to promote physical activity among older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Conclusion
Digital health interventions have the potential to improve physical activity among older adults with mild cognitive impairments, but their use is still in the early stages.
Supporting Evidence

- The review included 10 articles that were screened and analyzed for effectiveness.
- Digital interventions included various technologies like tablets and smartphones.
Takeaway
Using technology like smartphones and tablets can help older people with memory problems be more active, but we still have a lot to learn about how to do this well.
Methodology
The review followed PRISMA guidelines and used the PICO framework to search literature across five databases, screening articles based on predetermined criteria.
Limitations
The use of digital-based health interventions is still rudimentary, indicating a need for more comprehensive approaches.
Participant Demographics
