Smartphone App for Well-being in Older Adults and Caregivers
This study is looking at how practical and easy it is to use a smartphone app called utmbHealthyBrain in community settings. This app offers activities like drawing, Tai-Chi and meditation, and prayer reading, which are designed to help with emotional stability, physical movement, and social connection. We are looking for 40 people, specifically adults aged 50 to 100 who have a caregiver. Both the older adult and their caregiver will use the app for four weeks. The main goal is to see if the app is feasible to use, meaning if people can easily use it three times a week for four weeks. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is an interventional pilot study planning to enroll 40 participants (20 older adults and 20 caregivers). It is a pretest-posttest design, meaning measurements are taken before and after the intervention.
- What's involved
- You and your caregiver would participate for a total of six weeks, including an introduction, four weeks of using the app at least three times a week, and a final feedback session.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study involves a final feedback session in week 6, after four weeks of using the app.
