Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 3 (meals + AES 8 advanced )Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will have meals delivered and the AES device installed for advanced usage
Group II: Phase 2 (Meals + Amazon Echo Show 8 (AES 8) basic usage)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will have meals delivered and the AES device installed for basic usage
Group III: Phase 1 (meals only)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive meals delivered to them by the Meals oN wheels(MOW) program for 6 weeks.MOW will once a week deliver in-person enough frozen meals to cover lunch for 5 days and breakfast for 7 days. Study staff will call the participants twice a week to ask 5 questions about their health, mood, and meal consumption.At the end of the 6 weeks, a study team member will make an in-person visit to the participants' homes to measure Fried Frailty Phenotype(FFP), MHS, CES-D, MOCA, Activities of Daily Living (ADL)/Instrumental activities of daily living(IADL)s, NSI, and ZCBI. Caregivers will not receive meals during this first phase as the focus is on the nutritional status of the cognitively impaired older adult.
