Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a web-based program called the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) can help older adults improve their wellbeing and take actions to support healthy aging. The study will include adults aged 60 years and older, including both older adults and people who care for someone living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

1. 1.Does using the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp increase participants' ability to manage their health and wellbeing, measured by the Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13)?
2. 2.Do participants who use the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp take more actions to improve their wellbeing compared with those who do not use the program?
3. 3.Intervention group: Participants will create an account and use the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp platform for 24 weeks. They will complete a wellbeing assessment and receive personal action plans and specific recommendations. They will also receive weekly encouragement messages and personalized check-ins by email or text.
4. 4.Comparison group: Participants will complete the same baseline assessment but will not have access to the AWC platform during the study. Instead, they will receive weekly general healthy aging information by email.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13) Score

  Patient activation measured using the 13-item Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13), a validated survey that assesses participants' knowledge, skills, and confidence for managing their health and wellbeing. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater activation. The primary analysis will compare change in PAM-13 scores between intervention and control groups.

Study Arms (2)

Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will use the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC), a web-based wellbeing assessment and recommendation platform, for 24 weeks. After completing the baseline assessment, participants will answer domain-specific follow-up questions for wellbeing areas with low scores or areas they want to improve. Based on these responses, the platform will generate evidence-based recommendations and actionable plans. Participants will also receive ongoing encouragement messages and check-ins by email or text during the 24-week study period.

Behavioral: Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC)

General Healthy Aging Information Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in this arm will complete the same baseline assessment as the intervention group but will not receive access to the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp platform, personal action plans or recommendations, or digital support during the 24-week study period. Instead, they will receive weekly non-personalized general healthy aging informational messages by email.

Interventions

Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) BEHAVIORAL

The Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) is a web-based wellbeing assessment and recommendation platform designed for older adults and care partners. Participants complete an online assessment of multiple wellbeing domains. The platform uses a rules-based algorithm to generate evidence-based guidance and actionable plans for domains with low scores or areas participants choose to improve. Participants in the intervention arm receive ongoing encouragement messages and check-ins via email or text over the 24-week study period.

Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) Intervention Group

General Healthy Aging Information BEHAVIORAL

Participants receive weekly non-personalized informational messages about general healthy aging topics delivered by email during the 24-week study period. These messages provide general education but do not include personal recommendations, interactive features, or access to the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp platform.
