There is a national call for digital health innovations in the provision of health and social care, especially for older adults in the context of home. The Reflective STRENGTH-Giving Dialogue (STRENGTH) method is used to provide individual and holistic care using recurrent dialogues. The SelfSTRENGTH application (app) was developed to support reflection and stimulate activity that enables achievement of meaningful life projects. The objective of the study was to describe how the use of the SelfSTRENGTH app is perceived by older adults living with long-term health problems. A qualitative, descriptive and inductive design. Data, analyzed using a phenomenographic approach, consisted of individual qualitative interviews with older adults (age range = 74-96) conducted before (n = 34) and after (n = 27) participation in the STRENGTH intervention. The results consist of five categories of description: Resistance to use apps and digital tools; Health problems hinder its usefulness; Need of assistance is a prerequisite to be able to use the app; the app supports memory and reflection; and Using the app disperses thoughts and creates motivation. The outcome space thus contains descriptions of both barriers and possibilities regarding how the use of the SelfSTRENGTH app is perceived. The potential of using technology such as applications in health care is immense. However, long-term health problems in older adults, along with care providers' attitudes and opportunities to support, must be taken into consideration when implementing apps in health and social care.
