| Annotation | NANA (Novel Assessment of Nutrition and Ageing) is a touch screen application developed to collect information about what people eat and drink, their mood, cognitive function and physical activity. It was created and tested 516 older adults (+ database of 217) who took part in a total of 42 separate focus or test studies, along with nutritionists and health and social care staff across the UK. NANA was developed over a 4-year multidisciplinary programme of work that produced large amounts of data which have implications and relevance for research, care and policy but primarily to support people to live and age well. The project has five key findings. First, older adults are happy to use new technology in their own homes. Second, older adults are comfortable recording what they eat and drink on a daily basis. Third, older adults are prepared to record their mood on a daily basis. Fourth, older adults will complete cognitive measures on a daily basis. Lastly, older adults will record their physical activity and function using new technology. |
