MCCs account for 90% of Medicare spending, and 65% of Medicare beneficiaries have 3 or more chronic conditions; 23% have 5 or more. MCCs are often addressed in primary care, where time pressures force a focus on medication and lab results rather than self-management skills. Patients often struggle with treatment adherence and the emotional and physical burdens of self-management and health tracking. Chronic conditions reduce quality of life (QOL) and increase loneliness, which exacerbate those conditions.\n\nThe primary purpose of this study is to investigate whether a voice-based platform is better for delivering an electronic health intervention to older adults than a text/typing-based platform. We have an evidence-based electronic health intervention (Elder Tree, ET) that has been shown to improve quality of life, physical and socio-emotional health outcomes for older adults with multiple chronic conditions when delivered via a text/typing-based system. The current project would test whether such patients would benefit even more if ET were delivered via a voice-based system (vs. the text-based system) because they would use it more consistently. ET is an existing intervention providing tools, motivation, and support on a computer platform to help older adults manage their health.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '60 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Be ≥60 years old;\n* Have medical record diagnoses of at least 5 chronic conditions of which at least 3 must come from the following: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, prediabetes or diabetes, or depression;\n* Be willing to share medical record data about healthcare use (30-day hospital readmissions and ER, urgent care, primary care, and specialty care visits);\n* Allow researchers to share information with the patient's primary care provider\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Require an interpreter\n* Report no current psychotic disorder that would prevent participation\n* Have no acute medical problem requiring immediate hospitalization\n* Not report impairments preventing use of a computer or tablet (e.g. blind, deaf)"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05240534', 'briefTitle': 'ElderTree Via a Voice Activated Device for Managing Chronic Health Conditions (NHLBI)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Wisconsin, Madison'}, 'officialTitle': 'Using Smart Displays to Implement Evidence-Based eHealth System for Older Adults With Multiple Chronic Conditions (NHLBI)', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2020-0984'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'A195000', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'UW Madison'}, {'id': 'Protocol Version 3/2/2023', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'UW Madison'}, {'id': '1R61HL151870-01A1', 'link': 'https://reporter.nih.gov/quickSearch/1R61HL151870-01A1', 'type': 'NIH'}, {'id': '5R33HL151870', 'link': 'https://reporter.nih.gov/quickSearch/5R33HL151870', 'type': 'NIH'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Control group (ET-Text)', 'description': 'Participants will receive ElderTree on a laptop.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: ET-Text (Laptop)']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Experimental group (ET-Voice)', 'description': 'Participants will receive ElderTree on a smart system.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: ET-Voice (Smart System)']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'ET-Text (Laptop)', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'ElderTree (ET) is based on the extensively tested Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS).
