About this study
Official title: myHealthHub for Older Adult Inpatients to Lower Loneliness and Improve Patient Engagement, Quality of Life and Mental Health
This study will assess "myHealthhub" in hospitalized older adults throughout 5 days of their hospital stay. The investigators propose a mixed method randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing myHealthHub platform vs. a simplified HealthHub system that provides only TV access, in order to evaluate patients' loneliness, stress, quality of life, patient engagement, and other mental health outcomes in n=60 older adult inpatients. The investigators will also use qualitative methods to assess user and stakeholder experience, and engagement.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in Loneliness
Loneliness measured by the UCLA 3-item Loneliness Scale (UCLA-3). This is a 3-item scale with scores ranging from 3-9, with higher scores indicating greater severity of loneliness.
Measured: Baseline, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5
Secondary outcomes (3)
Changes in Stress
Stress measured by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). This is a 14-item scale with scores ranging from 0-56, with higher scores indicating greater severity of stress.
Measured: Baseline, day 3, day 5
Changes in Patient Engagement
Patient engagement measured by Patient Activation Measure-13 (PAM-13). This is a 13-question scale.
Measured: Baseline, day 3, day 5
Changes in Quality of Life in Older Adults
