Mobility throughout life is important for maintaining one’s wellbeing. A team of McMaster researchers and HPL are working together to improve the identification and assessment of early mobility limitations among older Canadians.

In this study, approximately 2000 older adults in Hamilton will use a mobility tracker, such as a smart watch, to monitor their mobility and health. Hamilton Public Library (HPL) will be a site where older adults can learn more about and participate in this study if they wish. Likewise, HPL will help older adults access information on mobility and the study’s results.
