This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the electronic Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (eCGA) in primary care for adults aged 65 years and older. The study examines how frailty changes over 12 months, how patient self-assessments compare with physician assessments, and how patients perceive the value of the eCGA when used as part of routine care. The study also includes an interventional randomized sub-study (PAHA), in which eligible participants receive a personalized physical activity program developed by a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. Participants are randomized to either an immediate-start or delayed-start exercise group, allowing assessment of the effects of a tailored activity intervention on frailty, physical activity participation, and goal attainment. Findings will inform how eCGA tools and personalized activity interventions can be integrated into primary care to support healthy aging and frailty management.
