Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Secondarily, the aim is to understand the impact that an active aging program intervention implemented in retired people, based on the use of technology and considering the basis for the adaptation of the Prochaska and Diclemente Trans-Theoretical Model, can have in their quality of life.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The quantitative approach is a complementary method to the qualitative approach based on a quasi-experimental study, as no control group has been introduced. From this approach, a descriptive and comparative study has been carried out on quality of life and the behavior adopted in the adaptation to retirement, both measured before and after the intervention.
The intervention program developed consists of a brief-intervention about 5 sessions lasting between 45-60 minutes. It was intended to address the concerns and needs that emerge from the participants' interviews. The intervention is based on the principles of the process of adaptation to retirement defined by Atchley and the Prochaska and Diclemente Model on the phases of preparation for retirement. The material to be used will be based on existing resources for retired people, awareness through multimedia material and knowledge of possible contributions of different technological devices to healthy-lifestyle.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Retired people
People who are either ordinarily or early retired and who have previously held a paid employment.
Technology-based-Intervention
The intervention is intended to address the concerns and needs that emerge from the participants' interviews. The intervention is based on the principles of the process of adaptation to retirement defined by Atchley and the Prochaska and Diclemente Model on the phases of preparation for retirement. The material to be used will be based on existing resources for retired people, awareness through multimedia material and knowledge of possible contributions of different technological devices to the retirement process.
The sessions consisted of showing different exercises and devices to perform physical activities, cognitive training, relaxation activities, counselling about healthy eating and leisure-time activities.
