Treatment Details
Interventions
- Adherence Promotion With Person-centered Technology (APPT) System
- Standard Reminder System
Trial Overview The study is testing if an adaptive and personalized reminder system (APPT) can improve adherence to home-based cognitive training compared to standard reminders among older adults. The goal is to see which method better supports regular participation in the training.
Participant Groups
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Smart Adherence Support ConditionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
To promote adherence, participants will receive reminders when home-based cognitive training has not been completed. This will be in the form of a text message to participants' smart phone. In this condition, participants will receive adaptive and tailored reminders based on dynamic algorithms that deploy reminders in a way that considers participant preferences, days and times of previous successful assessments, the success of previous reminder attempts, and answers to brief questions contained within reminder prompts. Parameter weights for these variables will be adjusted dynamically over a 6-month assessment period to ensure that reminders are deployed when they are most likely to be acted upon.
Group II: Reminder Only ConditionActive Control1 Intervention
To promote adherence, participants will receive generic reminders when home-based cognitive training has not been completed. This will be in the form of a text message to participants' smart phone.
