Summary

This study tests a mobile app called iPREPARED that helps patients and their caregivers prepare for a hospital stay. The app provides videos and tips to prevent or reduce delirium, a sudden confused state common in older adults. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and if it can lower the risk and severity of delirium. The study involves 120 patient-caregiver pairs aged 60 and older.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
iPREPARED mobile health app (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, non-drug way to reduce delirium and distress for older hospital patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so results may not apply widely. The study is currently suspended, and the app may not work for everyone.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
