-Summary

This study investigates whether a health tracking platform improves an elderly person's health with regards to frailty over the course of a year. Secondary research questions examine which instruments are the best predictors of frailty to improve preventative measures in the future.

+Detailed description

All patients presenting to the Annual Wellness Visit at Stanford Hospital will be considered for this study. Eligible who consent will be asked to conduct several activities, which will be video taped and timed.

The activities include:

* Timed up and go: patients will be asked to rise from a chair and walk 10 feet (3 m), turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down.
* QuickDASH tasks: open a jar, carry a shopping bag, cut food with a knife, wash back, wash a wall, and hammer a piece of wood.
* KOOS JR tasks: go up/down stairs, stand upright
* PROMIS PF tasks: lift heavy object repeat x5, shoelace or buttons, wash hair

Patients will then be asked to complete a survey consisting of a number of validated questionnaires used to collect patient reported outcome measures and assess frailty. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions, the control condition or the frailty wellness platform condition. Patients assigned to the frailty wellness platform condition will be given an orientation to a health tracking program. They will be asked to fill out the questionnaires at 3 separate time points on the program site (accessed via phone or computer) at 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months, following orientation. One year later, at the patient's second Annual Wellness Visit, the patient will be asked to fill out the Health Risk Assessment and the study will conclude.

Intervention/TrackingExperimentalBehavioral: Longitudinal Tracking and Intervention Platform for Medicare Advantage PatientsThis group will have access to the longitudinal tracking and intervention platform for Medicare Advantage patients. Members of this group's care team will have access to the longitudinal data on the platform and will be able to intervene if any red flags emerge (i.e. if a patient displays signs of depression on a patient reported outcome measure/survey)
