Abstract in brief

The study explores how middle-aged and older adults in Germany accept mobile health tools for nutrition and fitness, identifying three different types of acceptance and noting that acceptance varies significantly among individuals and between types of tools.
Usability is a key factor that encourages acceptance, while concerns about privacy and a desire for independence can hinder it; notably, nutrition tools are less accepted than fitness tools.
