Study Stopped
In the post-COVID environment, we had great difficulty convincing a hospital to join us and collaborate with us, so the study was dropped. We did not formally start the study or recruit any participants.

Brief Summary
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.
