Study Summary

This trial will test whether a voice-based platform is better for delivering an electronic health intervention to older adults than a text/typing-based platform.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 60 or older who have at least five chronic health conditions, with hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, prediabetes/diabetes, or depression being among them. Participants must be willing to share their medical records and allow communication with their primary care provider.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of delivering a health management program called Elder Tree (ET) to seniors with multiple chronic illnesses: one using voice commands through a smart system (ET-Voice), and the other via text on a laptop (ET-Text).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions focusing on technology use for health management rather than medications or procedures, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience frustration or difficulty in using the technology.

Which objectives are this experiment striving to accomplish?

"The aims of this medical study, to be tracked over a Baseline and 6, 12, 18 month period, are the alteration in sleep quality monitored by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29 v2.1., as well as modifications in symptom distress assessed by the General Symptom Distress Scale & Bayliss Disease Burden Scale, an evaluation of wellbeing via The World Health Organization- Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5), and ultimately a transformation in overall ElderTree use across the 12 months intervention approximated through logons."
