ElderTree Smart System for eldre voksne
Bruk av smarte enheter for å implementere et bevisbasert e-helsesystem for eldre voksne
Multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) are costly and pervasive among older adults. MCCs account for 90% of Medicare spending, and 65% of Medicare beneficiaries have 3 or more chronic conditions; 23% have 5 or more. MCCs are often addressed in primary care, where time pressures force a focus on medication and lab results rather than self-management skills.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate whether voice-activated "smart" technology increases adoption and sustains use of an evidence-based electronic health intervention (Elder Tree, or ET) for older adults with multiple chronic conditions, and thereby improves its potential to widely enhance quality of life and health outcomes. ET is an existing intervention providing tools, motivation, and support on a computer platform to help older adults manage their health.
An Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ)-funded randomized controlled trial (RCT) found that ET improved quality of life and other factors among high users of primary care with multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. However, many people did not use it extensively, which is a common problem with all web apps.

Eksperimentell: ElderTree on laptop (ET- LT)
Participants will receive ElderTree on a laptop. |
ElderTree (ET) is an existing intervention providing tools, motivation, and support on a computer platform to help older adults manage their health. ET is based on the extensively tested Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS). ET is a "walled garden" free of ads, with design features based on older users' feedback as well as best-practice principles such as uncluttered screens and large type. ET uses computers to deliver key elements of successful interventions: long duration, ongoing outreach, prompts, monitoring, cognitive reframing, action planning, problem solving, self-tailoring, and peer support. ET-LT arm will access ET on Laptop (ET- LT) |

ElderTree on smart system (ET- SS) will use voice-activated "smart" speakers connected to the Internet. Because they are used by talking and listening rather than typing and reading, many barriers associated with laptop use can be avoided. |

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v2.1 - Pain Interference Score
Tidsramme: Baseline, 4 months, 8 months
|
Pain interference was measured using the 4-item subscale from the PROMIS 29. The items asked participants to answer regarding the past 7 days. Scoring of individual items varies and is calculated by the scale's developers; with higher values indicating more pain interference. The possible range is 41.1 to 76.3 (PROMIS scores reported here have weighted ranges). |

Change in PROMIS Short Form v2.1 - Psychosocial Quality of Life Score
Tidsramme: Baseline, 4 months, 8 months
|
Psychosocial quality of life was measured using the 12-item subscale from the PROMIS 29. The items asked participants to answer regarding the past 7 days. Scoring of individual items varies and is calculated by the scale's developers; with higher values indicating better quality of life. The possible range is 21.2 to 67.6. |
