The study presented in this chapter investigated the role of smart watches in managing health among senior citizens, focusing on usability, accessibility, and social support. Using a mixed-methods approach, involving semi-structured interviews and structured surveys with 12 senior citizens aged 60-69, we explored their experiences with using smart watches over 6-12 months. Our findings highlight that while smart watches provide significant health benefits, such as monitoring vital signs and promoting physical activity, usability challenges persist due to small text and complex interfaces. Social support from family is crucial for adoption and effective use. Our participants reported improved health outcomes, increased motivation for physical activity, and better communication with healthcare providers. However, privacy and security concerns, along with the need for customisable and user-friendly designs, were emphasised. This study underscores the potential of smart watches to enhance health management for senior citizens, advocating for targeted design improvements and robust data protection measures to maximise their benefits. 2025 selection and editorial matter, Kamal Upreti, Nishant Kumar, Mohammad Shabbir Alam, Mohammad Shahnawaz Nasir and Debabrata Samanta; individual chapters, the contributors.
