Through NINR project 1R44NR017842-01 which preceded the present study, the investigators enhanced the care.coach avatar platform to incorporate a robust suite of evidence-based protocols based on the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP), and to leverage an integration with hospital-based electronic medical record (EMR) systems. In the present study, the investigators seek to validate the efficacy of the new avatar platform, as measured by reduction in falls, delirium, and patient sitter utilization. Also, the investigators seek to gather patient and outcomes data at a scale sufficient to begin developing machine learning algorithms for intelligent, automatic assignment of protocols to maximize patient engagement and clinical efficacy, and for intelligent, automatic screening of delirium to assist care teams in positive identification of delirium. Therefore, the present study comprises a two-year randomized between-groups comparison across multiple hospitals to compare outcomes with the new generation of care.coach avatars as the intervention versus usual care only as the control. Each study group will be geographically distributed across participating research sites: initially MediSys Health Network's Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in New York, with additional hospitals to join the study over the course of two years.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incident Delirium Rate | For each patient without prevalent delirium (each patient who screens negative per the Confusion Assessment Method [CAM] upon study enrollment, which is assumed to be within 24 hours of admission to the hospital unit), Incident Delirium is indicated by any positive CAM screen during the patient's study enrollment period, with CAM screens being performed at least daily (the final CAM screen is assumed to be within 24 hours of discharge from the hospital unit). Incident Delirium is thus a binary variable (true/false) for each patient, and the rate of Incident Delirium will be compared across study groups, with a lower rate being desirable. | From beginning to end of each participant's inpatient stay, an average of 4 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Delirium Resolution Rate | For each patient with prevalent delirium (each patient who screens positive per the Confusion Assessment Method [CAM] upon study enrollment, which is assumed to be within 24 hours of admission to the hospital unit), delirium will be considered resolved if the patient's final CAM screen (which is assumed to be within 24 hours prior to discharge from the hospital unit) indicates no delirium. Delirium Resolution is thus a binary variable (true/false) for each patient, and the rate of successful Delirium Resolution will be compared across study groups, with a higher rate being desirable. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Delirium Severity | For each patient screened delirium positive on the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale (MDAS) is administered to measure delirium severity upon enrollment and upon dis-enrollment from the study. Change in Delirium Severity is the difference from the enrollment MDAS score to the dis-enrollment MDAS score. Change in Delirium Severity will be compared across study groups, with a larger numerical reduction being desirable. |

| Change in Cognitive Function | For each patient, the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ) is administered to measure cognitive function (0-10 errors, more errors indicating greater cognitive impairment) upon enrollment and upon dis-enrollment from the study. Change in Cognitive Function is the difference from the enrollment SPMSQ score to the dis-enrollment SPMSQ score. Change in Cognitive Function will be compared across study groups, with a larger numerical reduction being desirable. | From beginning to end of each participant's inpatient stay, an average of 4 days |

The usual definition of a "serious adverse event" includes an inpatient hospitalization, but all subjects are already hospitalized and therefore we are focusing on deaths unless there is a usually-defined serious or non-serious adverse event that is considered attributable to study participation.

Fall & patient sitter data were not recorded at the first site. Secondary sites that were to record such data were stalled by COVID. Post-tests were missing for many patients, due largely to hospital discharges occurring before researchers could conduct post-tests. Incident delirium cases were too few to draw conclusions (far below the rate suggested by literature). The team began to mitigate these data integrity problems, but were not able to rebuild a viable research assistant team post-COVID.
