This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new Geriatric Trauma Care Program (GTCP) designed to help older adults who live alone recover from traumatic injuries. The program uses a digital e-book with six different modules of support to address pain, physical disability, depression, loneliness, and overall quality of life during recovery. Researchers want to understand whether this comprehensive digital program works better than standard care alone over the long term.
Older adults who live alone and suffer traumatic injuries often struggle during recovery because they lack support systems and face challenges like chronic pain, depression, and isolation. While short-term digital care programs have shown promise, doctors and researchers don't yet know whether this type of program produces lasting improvements for this vulnerable population — so this study aims to fill that gap.

If you join this study, you will be randomly placed into either a standard care group or a group that receives the new digital support program alongside standard care. The digital program uses an e-book with six modules designed specifically for older adults with injuries who live alone. You will participate for three months, during which time the program will help guide your recovery at home using your smartphone.
