THE CHALLENGE
As the U.S. population ages, physical inactivity among older adults remains an important concern, with significant health implications such as increased risks of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) developed the Go4Life® campaign to provide free exercise resources to older adults.
The study ”Virtual delivery of Go4Life® resources: A pilot study enhancing physical activity in older adults through pre- and post-intervention evaluation” was published in March of 2025, in collaboration with the Department of Medicine at Michigan State University and featured in Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics Plus.
The objective was to assess how Go4Life® Resources, including motivational text messages and remote patient monitoring delivered via the Dialog Health platform, can influence physical activity levels in older adults-Specifically, improving endurance, strength, balance and flexibility.
THE SOLUTION
By partnering with Dialog Health and incorporating text messaging solutions into the Go4Life® approach, researches set out to determine if frequent two-way texting would motivate participants to improve their health. Examples of text messages include both weekly motivational texts as well as weekly multiple response activity tracking messages

THE RESULTS
The study found that the combination of Go4Life® resources, motivational text messages sent via Dialog Health, and remote patient monitoring may lead to significant improvements in strength and balance activities among older adults. Further, it was found that the longer participants were engaged in the in the program, the more likely they were to increased their endurance.
These findings emphasize the importance of sustained engagement in physical activity interventions for promoting overall health and well-being in older adults.
