Project Overview

The project aims to mobilize a multi-disciplinary research and community team to develop and validate a digital multi-domain active aging program to promote the biopsychosocial wellbeing of Chinese older immigrants in Canada. It addresses three questions: 1) what are the sociodemographic risk factors for psychosocial functions and resilience of Chinese older adults in Canada? 2) do they benefit from the cloud-based digital multi-domain active aging program? 3) does the add-on resilience-building module enhance the training efficacy? The study takes a pretest-intervention-posttest design. The results have significant health and social implications in promoting cultural integration and psychosocial wellbeing of minority populations in Canada. The digital active aging training program would ultimately reduce the burden on Canadian economic and healthcare systems during the post-COVID era.
