Brief summary (registry, in English)
BACKGROUD: Health technology is an important tool in the aging process, which may improve the health condition and self-esteem of the elderly, in addition to offering new opportunities and challenges. In this scenario, the use of virtual interaction systems emerge as promising alternatives for the old adults, which often deals with the lack of social interaction, cognitive decline and decline in functional capacity, making the control of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, a challenge. OBJECTIVES: This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using an interactive virtual assistance system in mental health parameters, glycemic profile and diabetes selfcare behavior in elderly people with diabetes. METHODS: A randomized clinical trial is proposed, for an intervention that includes 3 months of use of the Smart Speaker Echo Dot system, programmed to provide reminders, stimulate treatment records and maintain healthy habits. Outcomes assessed will include parameters of mental health and diabetes control.
