We explored whether integration-based SMU relates to depressive symptoms and whether social support mediates that link, considering online network size.Method: A cross-sectional survey of 371 community-dwelling adults aged ≥55 years measured SMU integration, social support, depressive symptoms, demographics, health, and network size. Mediation analysis with bias-corrected bootstrapping assessed direct and indirect paths.Results: Greater SMU integration corresponded with slightly higher depressive scores. Higher social support predicted lower symptoms but did not explain the SMU-depression association. Participants with medium-sized networks reported the strongest support; larger networks offered no additional benefit.Conclusion: Deeply embedding social media in daily routines may modestly intensify depressive feelings, whereas maintaining a moderate circle of online ties seems most supportive. Interventions should foster balanced engagement and manageable networks among older adult users.

An expert panel of nurse researchers and health informatics researchers assisted in identifying self-management categories and developing survey items by providing iterative feedback.Results: Six major categories of chronic condition self-management were identified. The survey initially comprised 29 items within the six categories, later refined to a final set of 22 items, each reflecting relevant self-management tasks that could be supported by smart speakers.Conclusion: The ASSIST survey offers a practical tool for assessing perceived usefulness of various smart speaker-based tasks in chronic disease management that can inform an individualized intervention design for underserved older adults with cognitive impairment, although further validation is necessary to broaden its application.

The ASC app provided personalized disease management, dietary advice, exercise recommendations, medication guidance, and access to health care consultations during daytime business hours. Follow up was conducted via telephone.Results: The intervention group had significant improvements in body mass index, daily alcohol consumption, daily smoking quantity, weekly exercise frequency, self-efficacy, medication adherence, number of physician visits, and quality of life metrics. Notably, improvements were seen in physical functioning, physical role, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health dimensions (p < 0.05); however, no significant differences were observed in the bodily pain dimension of quality of life or number of hospitalizations (p > 0.05).Conclusion: The current study demonstrates that mobile health apps, such as ASC, can effectively enhance health behaviors and quality of life in older adults.
