Brief Summary

This study will assess "myHealthhub" in hospitalized older adults throughout 5 days of their hospital stay. The investigators propose a mixed method randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing myHealthHub platform vs. a simplified HealthHub system that provides only TV access, in order to evaluate patients' loneliness, stress, quality of life, patient engagement, and other mental health outcomes in n=60 older adult inpatients. The investigators will also use qualitative methods to assess user and stakeholder experience, and engagement.
