Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

With the growth of hospice, older adults have the opportunity to receive home-based care aimed at reducing suffering and focusing on quality of life at the end of life. While use of technology and educational videos has yet to be fully developed, structured, and evaluated in home hospice care, it has shown promise to improve care in other settings. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate a multi-component technology-based care intervention, i.e., Improving Home hospice Management of End of life issues through technology (I-HoME), that focuses on assessing and addressing patient symptoms and caregiver burden in the home hospice setting through synchronous live video visits and educational videos. The aim of the first phase of the project is to employ an iterative user-centered design process to develop I-HoME for home hospice patients and their caregivers prior to implementation.
