This study is looking at how a program called mPATH might help low-income older adults who are not very active, have trouble sleeping (insomnia), and are experiencing some memory or thinking problems (cognitive decline). mPATH is a personalized physical activity program that uses mobile health (mHealth) tools like wearable devices and phone calls to help you exercise at home. Researchers want to see if mPATH can improve your thinking skills and sleep over 6 and 12 months. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, have difficulty sleeping, are not physically active, have a low household income, and can do moderate exercise. You cannot join if you have untreated sleep apnea, severe depression or anxiety, dementia, or certain other health conditions.

Study design

This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 176 participants. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be assigned by chance to either the mPATH intervention or an attention control group.

What's involved

If you are in the mPATH group, you will participate in a 6-month program including education sessions, mHealth learning, personalized physical activity training, and biweekly phone calls. If you are in the attention control group, a registered nurse will provide 6 monthly home visits for physical activity education and safety evaluations.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your episodic memory will be assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after starting the study.
