Clinical Trial Description

The objective of this pilot study is to design a companion booklet and pilot test it with a voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant (VIPA), Google Home or Amazon Alexa, to provide patients with skills and tools to help manage their social isolation. The companion booklet is a document that will be created using feedback obtained from a panel of geriatric experts, highlighting features of the VIPA that may be most beneficial to socially-isolated older adults. It will be submitted to the IRB for approval once finalized. The specific aims of this project are to: Aim 1: Design a companion booklet to be used in conjunction with a VIPA (Google Home/Amazon Alexa) for improving social isolation and communication among homebound older adults, defined as someone who is unable to leave the home without assistance of a device or another person, due to a physical or cognitive condition. Aim 2: Assess the feasibility and implementation of the VIPA (Google Home/Amazon Alexa) and the companion booklet and its impact on clinical and functional outcomes for older adults with social isolation. ;
