Overview
Brief Summary
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Screening for depression, anxiety and common mental health disorders in elderly
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 12 weeks
For mental health screening, the Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ 20) will be used, translated into Portuguese and validated for the Brazilian population. It is a questionnaire with 20 questions specially developed for the screening of depression, anxiety em common mental health disorders in the elderly. Higher scores indicating more mental distress.
Secondary Outcomes
- Variation in diastolic blood pressure(Change from baseline to 12 weeks)
- Variation in systolic blood pressure(Change from baseline to 12 weeks)
- Adherence parameters and self-care in the treatment of diabetes(Change from baseline to 12 weeks)
- Perception of stress:(Change from baseline to 12 weeks)
- Glycemic control: glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) assessment(Change from baseline to 12 weeks)
- Variation in total cholesterol(Change from baseline to 12 weeks)
- Evaluation of quality of life(Change from baseline to 12 weeks)
