The aim of this study is to test the feasibility and usability of the Convoy-Pal mobile intervention among older adults. The study is a pilot waitlist control RCT with 40 patients and their convoys randomized to one of two arms: Convoy-Pal intervention or waitlist control. Feasibility will be assessed by recruitment, attrition, and data collection on measures of quality of life and social support. Usability will be captured by self-report usability scales and actual back end utilization data.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Convoy-Pal Intervention | Experimental | Intervention participants will be sent Convoy-Pal equipment and materials. The equipment can simply be removed from the box, plugged in, and turned on to start. Research staff will provide technical support as needed during the trial. Convoy-Pal is 12-week intervention that uses the Routinify platform to deliver self-management tools and palliative care resources in the participants' home. The platform includes a tablet, charging stand, and smart watch, with additional options for mobile phone access and a website portal. |
|
| Waitlist Control | Active Comparator | Participants will complete baseline assessments and will be recontacted at 11 weeks to complete follow up assessments at week 12. Participants will receive a $25 gift card for each assessment ($50 total). If they would like to try the intervention at that time, we will send them Convoy-Pal equipment and materials. They will then have 12 weeks to use the tool. |
