Summary

"This trial aims to test if a mobile health program can help improve the thinking skills and sleep of older adults with low income."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for low-income older adults who have trouble sleeping, lead a sedentary lifestyle without much exercise, and can do moderate intensity workouts. It's not suitable for those who don't meet the income criteria or cannot safely engage in physical activity.
What is being tested?
The study tests an mHealth-facilitated program called mPATH designed to improve sleep and cognitive function through increased physical activity. Participants will either receive this intervention or be part of an attention control group for comparison.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves physical activity, potential side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue. However, specific side effects will depend on individual health conditions.
