The Wellness 55™ Pilot Program was designed and implemented by Canadian Health Solutions to address the need for geographically distributed, community-based, preventative care in the New Brunswick healthcare ecosystem and promote aging in place. This novel approach used an app-based platform and engaged with local community hubs to improve modifiable risk factors of wellness in older adults. The 6-month program provided participants with smartwatches, self-directed learning modules, and one-on-one coaching sessions to improve participant-selected areas of wellness. Nine core metrics were used to assess various aspects of holistic wellness profiles including physical health, nutrition, function, and self-efficacy. Total wellness and self-efficacy improved across the whole group. Of note, about one third of participants who scored in the high-risk categories at baseline showed significant improvement after 6 months in the program. Qualitatively, participants identified improved community engagement, increased health awareness, and positive behavioural changes as benefits of the program. A composite Frailty Index score was used to link global improvements to literature on expected health outcomes. Improvements suggest a positive impact on long-term health outcomes, ability to age in place, and avoidance of morbidity and mortality for community-dwelling older adults in New Brunswick.
