Summary
This study tests a new AI program designed to improve communication between nursing home residents, their families, and staff. The program uses artificial intelligence to help with conversations and support. Researchers will track changes in depression, daily living skills, and social support over 6 months in 210 participants. Half will use the AI program for 3 months, while the other half receives usual care.
