Effects of Peer- or Professional-Led Support in Enhancing Adherence to Wearable Monitoring Devices Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Peers or health care professionals are crucial in promoting the long-term use of WMDs among older adults [10-12].

Other reasons for low PRH include being in a monogamous relationship and limited sexual activity [6,9,11].

In summary, understanding peers’ viewpoints regarding mental health problems is crucial to empowering SNSs to serve as digital mental health support systems.

Although the precise criteria for “peer” differs among individual studies, peers are generally understood to be individuals that share key characteristics such as sexual orientation [18].
