Study Summary
This trial is looking at whether the audio-video technology 'LIFEView' can help improve wellbeing for people receiving palliative care. The software is loaded onto a laptop and connected to a TV, so it can be used by people who may be disoriented or have reduced physical mobility.
Eligible Conditions
- End-Stage Disease
- Quality of Life
- Psychological Distress
- Palliative Care

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Change in psychological and physical symptoms measured by the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-revised (ESAS-r) (Bruera et al., 1991; Watanabe et al., 2011)
Secondary outcome measures
Change in blood pressure
Change in heart rate
Change in quality of life measured by the McGill Quality of Life-Revised questionnaire (Cohen et al., 2017)
+1 moreOther outcome measures
Aspects of participant's level of general well-being as per the Greater Cincinnati Chapter Well-Being Observation tool (Rentz, 2002; Kinney & Rentz, 2005) during the 'LIFEView' session, and other observable phenomena

Experimental Treatment
Group I: 'LIFEView' interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The 'LIFEView' session(s) involves the use of audiovisual software by Motitech AS (technology provided by and used with permission from Motitech AS). For its primary uses as Motiview, the audiovisual software was coupled to a mobile user-adapted cycle-trainer. Since a secondary benefit of the virtual cycle trip may include reminiscence which may in-turn facilitate conversation of past experiences, the audiovisual software is being adapted for use in reminiscence therapy for a palliative care population.
As there is an extensive library available to participants and 'LIFEView' sessions could potentially be longer than feasible for research personnel to conduct, each 'LIFEView' session will be limited to up to 3 videos per session or up to 1 hour of videos per session, whichever is a shorter duration. Additional post-study 'LIFEView' sessions can be provided upon request from participants.
