AbstractThe number of aging populations is continuously growing and the increasing need for systematic health care for the elderly living alone and urban poor in small-areas calls for community-wise action for health disparity reduction. In Korea, despite the efforts to facilitate community-based health care, there is limited number of valid and reliable self-checkup tools for assessing health and function of community older adults. Hence, it is necessary to apply comprehensive information system to promote collecting and processing assessment data to facilitate self-care and elevate the quality of care. The interRAI Check-Up Self-Report Korean version (interRAI CUSR-K) is a self-check-up tool for about comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), which involves a holistic, multidisciplinary evaluation of health and function of the Korean older adults in community setting. We designed and developed the HWePS project app, which is a non-profit, prototype, self-check app to provide contactless, self-report based CGA under social distancing due to COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, our study introduces a process of development, application, and validation of the interRAI CUSR-K using the HWePS project app in the community setting.Keywords: mobile app, comprehensive geriatric assessment, community, lower-income, older adults
