We administered surveys and task assessments to measure digital inclusion and competency in using digital health management tools among older adults. While the majority were equipped to access digital health management tools, a substantial proportion reported challenges and required tailored or comprehensive assistance to use them. This study will identify digital inclusion measures that can reliably predict competency in using digital health management tools to guide implementation of supportive interventions within health care systems.
