Are digital tutorials or brief messaging campaigns effective in helping patients, especially elders, learn to register and use the NHS app? I’m seeking alternative approaches and practical advice.
hey folks, ive seen that small group sessions where elderly peeps can try the app with a buddy really helps. it gives them a chance to ask quesions on the fly and not feel rushed. interactive support is key in my experience.
Based on my experience, while digital tutorials and short messages have their merits, they tend to work best for patients who already have a degree of digital familiarity. For many elderly patients, periodic in-person sessions or guided phone support have been more effective. I’ve seen small workshops that combine a brief lecture with hands-on exercises produce better results in terms of engagement and long-term retention. A tailored approach that considers individual comfort levels and provides multiple learning channels seems to be the most successful strategy.
