    Background: It is widely acknowledged that the engagement of family caregivers and older adults with dependence is important for primary health care centres. Objective: This study will examine the feasibility and usability of the "Ageing Screening Health" application for caregivers of dependent older adults. Methods: The "Aging Screening Health" application was evaluated in two dimensions. Seven experts evaluated the technical quality in the first dimension, while 25 end users evaluated the level of satisfaction in the second dimension. The sample was selected by purposive sampling and consisted of caregivers of older adults in Song Phi Nong District, Suphan Buri Province, Thailand. The research instruments were the "Screening Ageing Health" application, the Applications Capabilities Questionnaire, and the questionnaire on satisfaction of end users. Data analysis was conducted using means and standard deviations. Results: The quality of the "Screening Ageing Health" application for caregivers of older adults with dependence was very good, with a mean score of 96.57 (SD= 3.31), and the users' satisfaction levels were also good, with a mean score of 90.24 (SD= 4.73). Conclusion: The ASH application demonstrated good overall usability and satisfaction, effectively managing health promotion plans to meet the health needs of the elderly in the community. However, village health volunteers with limited health literacy due to cognitive impairment require active planning for future brain training and stimulation. © 2024 Asia Pacific Higher Learning Sdn Bhd., Lincoln University College.
