We read with great interest the paper by Bolle et al that highlights the important determinants of usability and perceived usefulness of Web-based health information among older adults [1]. This paper is both timely and important. Web-based health information is increasingly being seen as an efficient means of patient education; however, the health information needs of older adults are often neglected [2]. Therefore, understanding how to improve Web-based tools for older adults would be hugely beneficial.
