What do we do in SMART-AGE? 
One of our central tasks is to design an assistance system to promote awareness of one's own health. This is understood as an important prerequisite for functional ability and social participation in older age. The assistance system will be implemented as an app (smartIMPULS). 

What do we want to investigate in SMART-AGE? 
We will first observe the acceptance and use of the app (smartIMPULS) by investigating how continuous use of the app promotes awareness of one’s own health. In connection to this, we will examine to what extent the internal health control beliefs increase and how health beliefs are influenced by continuous app use.
