Faisabilité d'une intervention par application smartphone en milieu communautaire : une étude pilote pré-test/post-test
The objective of this project is to test the feasibility of using a smartphone app in a community setting through collaborating with community-based organizations. The app is called utmbHealthyBrain and it has three activities: (1) drawing, (2) Tai-Chi and meditation, and (3) prayer reading. It also has a "share" function to enable users to interact with their family and friend. These activities can be translated to humans' well-beings such as a more stable emotion, more muscle movement, and better social engagement. This app does not collect any personal data and users are not required to register an account either. The overall study period is 6 weeks including one introduction session (week 1), four weeks of intervention (week 2 to 5), and final feedback session (week 6).

Description détaillée
This study will conduct primary data collection on 20 individuals aged 50+ and another 20 who are their caregivers regarding the use of a smartphone application (app) to promote mental well-being. The aging population is growing rapidly from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060. Approximately 34.2 million Americans have provided unpaid care to an adult age 50 or older. While 82% of them care for one adult, about 15% care for 2 adults and 3% for 3 or more adults. This number is expected to increase as the population ages. Deteriorating health of care recipients and caregivers is a critical issue that may be delayed by the use of a smartphone app to improve mental and emotional well-beings.
The objective of this proposed project is through collaborating with community-based organizations to test the acceptability and feasibility of a smartphone app intervention. We will collaborate with the community-based organization (i.e., UTMB OLLI and Libbie's Place) to announce the study by flyers and request RSVP to the study investigator. The investigator will provide instructions on using the smartphone app to potential participants and obtain participant's written consent to the study. After consenting, 20 pairs of older adults and their caregivers will fill out a mood test, download the app to their phone, and use it at least three times a week for four weeks. Participants will be required to keep their utilization log and fill out the post-intervention mood test and the feedback survey after four weeks of participation.
