The study intervention focuses on assessing and addressing patient symptoms in the home hospice setting through weekly telehealth visits (for up to 6 weeks) and educational videos that are geared for the patient's informal caregiver. The aim of this phase of the project is two fold. One is that the study team will conduct a single armed (N=6 dyads) pilot study with a focus on optimizing data collection protocols and the intervention. After this step, a randomized pilot study evaluating the feasibility and potential efficacy of I-HoME (N=50 dyads) compared to usual care (N=50 dyads) will be conducted.
Phase I of the study to assess feasibility of the intervention was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT04074304.
