Interventions

  • Virtual Outreach and Individualized Coaching Extension — OTHER
    VOICE (Virtual Outreach and Individualized Coaching Extension) is a nurse-led hybrid care program that combines in-home visits and telehealth coaching with personalized smart speakers and smartwatches, both integrated with a voice-based agent, to support chronic disease self-management among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). All study activities are procedures that supplement, and do not replace, the participant's usual clinical care; enrollment does not inform, modify, or change any participant's clinical care.

Study Details

This study tests whether a nurse-led program that uses a voice-controlled smart speaker in the home helps older adults better manage their chronic health conditions. It also examines which nursing staff and clinic resources would be needed to offer such a program in regular outpatient care.

Arms

  • Experimental: VOICE
    Participants will receive an Echo Show smart speaker and a Fitbit Versa smartwatch for activity and sleep tracking, and receive a demonstration of the basic functions (e.g., "Alexa, what's the weather today?"; "Alexa, set a timer for 10 minutes"). Staff will assist with device setup using a team-generated account. Staff will review the task library (a curated list of smart speaker tasks for chronic disease self-management), considering the participant's health conditions and their digital literacy assessment, and will encourage the participant to choose their top three tasks. An initial selection will be recorded on the participant's copy of the task library.
