Background:

Falls represent a significant public health issue for the elderly population.
Evidence-based fall prevention programs are crucial for older adults.
Online delivery of these programs could enhance accessibility, but challenges and benefits require exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore older adults' perceptions of transitioning face-to-face fall prevention programs to online formats.
To identify potential barriers and facilitators for online fall prevention program adoption among older adults.

Main Methods:

Focus group discussions were conducted with older adults.
Qualitative content analysis was employed to analyze participant feedback.
Opinions and suggestions regarding online program transition were systematically identified.

Main Results:

Older adults expressed concerns regarding technology usability and digital literacy.
Engagement and social interaction, valued in face-to-face settings, were identified as key challenges for online formats.
Participants suggested incorporating synchronous sessions and involving older adults in program development.

Conclusions:

Addressing technological barriers and fostering engagement are vital for successful online fall prevention programs.
Incorporating user-centered design, informed by older adult input, is recommended.
Online platforms offer potential for expanded reach but require careful consideration of user needs and preferences.
