Digital Tools to Support Healthcare Decision Making for Older Adults
This study is testing a digital support tool, called SideKick, which is designed to help older adults manage their healthcare, especially those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The tool aims to assist with tasks like finding support services, managing healthcare finances, and using Medicare.gov. Researchers want to see how useful and easy to use this tool is for people aged 60 and older. To join, you need to be at least 60, speak English, have basic internet skills (like using Amazon or Google), and have at least a 6th-grade reading level. The study is looking for 120 participants. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Project 3, Phase 2: Mean Perceived System UsefulnessImmediately following completion of the task performance session
Participants' perception of the usefulness of the system with 7 items with 3 subscales, included workload, trust, and usability. The Workload subscale will be computed from the average of a. the mental effort and b. the physical effort responses. Average c,d,e for the trust scale, and average f,g for a usability scale. Higher scores indicated higher workload, higher trust, and higher usability.
- Project 3, Phase 2: Sum of Performance AccuracyImmediately following completion of the task performance session
Accuracy will be evaluated based on whether the participants provided the accurate answer for each query (0=incorrect and 1=correct). Accuracy is summed across 12 queries with possible scores ranging from 0-12, higher scores indicate higher accuracy.
