Understanding older adults' attitudes toward mobile and wearable technologies to support health and cognition.

ABSTRACT: The use of technology to facilitate remote patient monitoring and virtual care is desirable due to the challenges of providing healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for more efficient and effective methods to care for the expanding older adult population.
