Promoting adoption and sustained use among older adults is essential to empower autonomous health management, leading to better health outcomes, improved quality of life, and reduced strain on health care systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This study investigates how autonomy-related contextual factors, including artificial intelligence (AI) anxiety, perceived privacy risks, and health consciousness, are related to older adults' psychological needs of competence, autonomy, and relatedness (RQ1). We then examined whether the fulfillment of these needs positively predicts older adults' intentions to adopt these devices (H1), and how they mediate the relationship between these factors and older adults' intentions to use smart health wearables (RQ2). Additionally, it compares experienced and nonexperienced older adult users regarding the influence of these psychological needs on use intentions (RQ3).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A web-based survey was conducted with individuals aged 60 years and above in Singapore, using a Qualtrics survey panel. A total of 306 participants (177 male; mean age of 65.47 years, age range 60-85 years) completed the survey. A structural equation model was used to analyze associations among AI anxiety, perceived privacy risks, and health consciousness, and the mediating factors of competence, autonomy, and relatedness, as well as their relationship to smart health wearable use intention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Health consciousness positively influenced all intrinsic motivation factors-competence, autonomy, and relatedness-while perceived privacy risks negatively affected all three. AI anxiety was negatively associated with competence only. Both privacy risk perceptions and health consciousness were indirectly linked to older adults' intentions to use smart health wearables through competence and relatedness. No significant differences were found in motivational structures between older adults with prior experience and those without.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;This study contributes to the application of self-determination theory in promoting the use of smart technology for health management among older adults. The results highlight the critical role of intrinsic motivation-particularly competence-in older adults' adoption of smart health wearables. While privacy concerns diminish motivation, health consciousness fosters it. The study results offer valuable implications for designing technologies that align with older adults' motivations, potentially benefiting aging populations in other technologically advanced societies.

We translated the mHealth STAM into Thai using forward and backward translation. A total of 15 older adults and experts completed the pilot questionnaire and were interviewed to assess its validity. The pilot items of the Thai mHealth STAM were then reworded and revised for better comprehension and cross-cultural compatibility. The construct validity of the Thai mHealth STAM was evaluated by a multidimensional approach, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and nonparametric item response theory analysis. Discriminative indices consisting of sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) were used to determine appropriate banding and discriminant validity for the intention to use mHealth. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach α and McDonald ω coefficients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Out of the 1100 participants with a mean age of 62.3 (SD 8.8) years, 360 (32.7%) were adults aged 45-59 years, and 740 (67.3%) were older adults aged 60 years and older.

In total, 4 new dimensions and 8 new criteria were proposed by the experts, and consensus was reached on 86% (24/28) of the dimensions and 80% (70/88) of the criteria.

The evaluation included iVR tests such as KinematicsVR and a VR adaptation of the Box and Block Test (BBT-VR). KinematicsVR tasks included drawing straight lines and circles as fast and as accurately as possible, while BBT-VR required participants to move digital cubes as quickly as possible within 60 seconds. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention, with a follow-up at 1 week post intervention. The primary outcome focused on evaluating the impact of REAsmash-iVR on speed-accuracy trade-off during KinematicsVR tasks. Secondary outcomes included analyzing movement smoothness, measured by spectral arc length, and BBT-VR scores.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Results revealed significant improvements in speed-accuracy trade-off post intervention compared to that before the intervention, with notable retention of skills for straight lines (t<sub>19</sub>=5.46; P<.001; Cohen d=1.13) and circle drawing (t<sub>19</sub>=3.84; P=.001; Cohen d=0.787).

Early detection is vital for effective treatment and intervention. While many studies use wearable devices to classify depression based on physical activity, these often rely on intrusive methods. Additionally, most depression classification studies involve large participant groups and use single-stage classifiers without explainability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This study aims to assess the feasibility of classifying depression using nonintrusive Wi-Fi-based motion sensor data using a novel machine learning model on a limited number of participants. We also conduct an explainability analysis to interpret the model's predictions and identify key features associated with depression classification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;In this study, we recruited adults aged 65 years and older through web-based and in-person methods, supported by a McGill University health care facility directory. Participants provided consent, and we collected 6 months of activity and sleep data via nonintrusive Wi-Fi-based sensors, along with Edmonton Frailty Scale and Geriatric Depression Scale data. For depression classification, we proposed a HOPE (Home-Based Older Adults' Depression Prediction) machine learning model with feature selection, dimensionality reduction, and classification stages, evaluating various model combinations using accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and F&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;-score. Shapely addictive explanations and local interpretable model-agnostic explanations were used to explain the model's predictions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 6 participants were enrolled in this study; however, 2 participants withdrew later due to internet connectivity issues. Among the 4 remaining participants, 3 participants were classified as not having depression, while 1 participant was identified as having depression. The most accurate classification model, which combined sequential forward selection for feature selection, principal component analysis for dimensionality reduction, and a decision tree for classification, achieved an accuracy of 87.5%, sensitivity of 90%, and precision of 88.3%, effectively distinguishing individuals with and those without depression. The explainability analysis revealed that the most influential features in depression classification, in order of importance, were \"average sleep duration,\" \"total number of sleep interruptions,\" \"percentage of nights with sleep interruptions,\" \"average duration of sleep interruptions,\" and \"Edmonton Frailty Scale.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The findings from this preliminary study demonstrate the feasibility of using Wi-Fi-based motion sensors for depression classification and highlight the effectiveness of our proposed HOPE machine learning model, even with a small sample size.
