Voice Technology-Based Self-Management Intervention (NCT06982261)

Voice2Manage: Interactive Voice-Assisted Self-Management Intervention for Low-Income Older Adults

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Emory University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study aims to test a new technology-based program designed to help improve the ability to manage chronic conditions. This program includes daily smart speaker use for managing different tasks and technology learning. Proper self-management of chronic conditions is critical to the maintenance of health. Digital technologies offer substantial potential to enhance self-management behaviors. Voice-operated smart speakers hold promise due to their ability to provide functional, cognitive, and social stimulation, send targeted reminders, and assist with daily schedules. Unfortunately, many older adults who live in low-income communities lack the resources and proficiency to take advantage of these options. Additionally, cognitive impairment is prevalent in independent living older adults, more prevalent in low-income older adults. The goal is to address these critical challenges by identifying smart speaker-based functions preferred by older adults, exploring their technology challenges, introducing them to these functions, and providing necessary technology training to improve self-efficacy in managing chronic conditions and enhance their engagement in self-management behaviors.
