Background:

Frailty and cognitive decline are common in aging populations.
Multidomain interventions are needed for prevention.
Mobile health (mHealth) offers scalable solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel mHealth app prototype for pre-frail and frail older adults.
To integrate exercise, nutrition, education, and self-monitoring into a single platform.
To gather expert feedback on the app's usability and helpfulness.

Main Methods:

Development of an mHealth app (COMFORTage project) with exercise, meal planning, education, and self-monitoring modules.
Qualitative think-aloud study with expert participants.
Usability and helpfulness assessment through task completion and feedback.

Main Results:

The app prototype was reported as easy to use and helpful by expert participants.
Minor suggestions for improvement included recipe grouping and localization.
The prototype is ready for a larger randomized controlled trial.

Conclusions:

The developed mHealth app shows potential as a scalable tool for preventing frailty and cognitive decline in older adults.
Expert feedback indicates good usability and perceived helpfulness.
Further validation through a randomized study is planned.
