This protocol describes MOBILE, a randomized controlled trial aiming to improve out-of-home mobility among adults aged 75+ living in rural areas. The intervention combines individualized counseling with digital monitoring (e.g., GPS-based mobility measures) and evaluates effects on mobility behavior, quality of life, and health-related outcomes.
