Summary

This pilot study tested a new digital tool called GoalNav Clinic, designed to help doctors collect and track personal goals from older patients during geriatric assessments. 26 patients and their care partners took part, using either a version with a list of common goals or one without. The study focused on whether the tool was easy to use and acceptable, not on changing health outcomes.
