Brief Summary
This qualitative study seeks to assess whether mobile health technologies are helpful for older adults. It is the first in a series of four studies whose overarching goal is to conduct a program of pilot research aimed at developing and evaluating a technology-assisted wellness intervention for older adults with obesity who may or may not live in a rural area.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Technology use in older adults
The investigators will record and transcribe each interview and focus group discussion for post-hoc evaluation. The investigators will then use the transcripts to identify themes on perceptions and experience with technology use in older adults.
Up to one year from interview or focus group
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Determinants of obesity in older adults
Up to one year from interview or focus group
Study Arms (4)
Older adult individual interviews
The investigators will conduct 8 semi-structured 60-minute interviews with patient participants.The goal of these interviews is to determine the acceptability, utility, and perceived value of mobile health (mHealth) in helping older adults overcome barriers to health behavior change.
Clinician individual interviews
The investigators will conduct 6 semi-structured 60-minute interviews with primary care clinicians who care for older adult populations.The goal of these interviews is to determine the acceptability, utility, and perceived value of mobile health (mHealth) in helping older adults overcome barriers to health behavior change.
Community leader individual interviews
The investigators will conduct 4 semi-structured 60-minute interviews with community leaders.The goal of these interviews is to determine the acceptability, utility, and perceived value of mobile health (mHealth) in helping older adults overcome barriers to health behavior change.
Focus group discussions
The investigators will lead four 90-minute focus group discussions consisting of 6-8 older adult participants each. The goal of these focus groups is to determine the acceptability, utility, and perceived value of mobile health (mHealth) in helping older adults overcome barriers to health behavior change.
Eligibility Criteria
Older adult participants screened and recruited primarily in local primary care setting (Department of Community and Family Medicine at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center), as well as through other marketing channels such as posters and radio advertising. Community leaders and clinicians recruited by invitation from the principal investigator.
