All
Phase N/A

This study is testing how using voice technology can help older adults manage long-term health problems better. Participants will use a smart speaker, like an Amazon Echo, every day. The smart speaker can remind you of tasks, help with schedules, and even be a fun social activity! Many older people, especially those with less money, may not know how to use this technology. The study aims to teach them how and see if it helps them manage their health better.

  • **Duration:** Participants will use the smart speaker daily for a specific period.
  • **Training Provided:** There will be technology training to help you learn how to use the smart speaker.
  • **Eligibility:** Must be 55 or older with a low income and have mild memory problems.

**Mild cognitive impairment (MCI)** means having some memory problems, but not as severe as Alzheimer's. The study will focus on people who live alone and can speak and read English. People with severe vision or hearing issues or major illnesses may not be able to join. You don't need to own a smart speaker to participate.
