These data provide preliminary evidence that older adults engage with and benefit from digital well-being interventions. We believe that these findings highlight the importance of considering older adult populations in digital health research. More research is needed to understand potential barriers to using digital interventions among older adults and whether digital interventions should be modified to account for this population's particular needs (eg, ensuring that the intervention is accessible using a variety of devices). However, these results are an important step in demonstrating the feasibility of such interventions in a population that is assumed to be less inclined toward digital approaches.
