Social Convoy Palliative Care (Convoy-Pal) Mobile Health for Older Adults

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.
