An interventional study of Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) and General Healthy Aging Information in Intervention Group and Control Group, sponsored by BellAge Inc.. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 60 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-23.
Sponsored by BellAge Inc. · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a web-based program called the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) can help older adults improve their wellbeing and take actions to support healthy aging. The study will include adults aged 60 years and older, including both older adults and people who care for someone living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare participants who use the AWC platform with participants who receive general healthy aging information to see whether the AWC program leads to greater improvements in wellbeing and health engagement.
The AWC platform is an online tool that helps older adults review their wellbeing across several areas of life, such as physical health, mental health, social connections, and daily habits. After completing an online assessment, the platform provides personal action plans and specific recommendations to help participants improve areas where their wellbeing scores are low.
About 496 participants aged 60 and older will take part in this study. This group will include both older adults and care partners for people living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. Participants will take part in the study for about 24 weeks (6 months).
Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance) to one of two groups:
All participants will complete surveys at the start of the study, at 12 weeks, and at 24 weeks. These surveys will measure health engagement, wellbeing, and actions taken to improve wellbeing. After the study ends, participants in the comparison group may be offered access to the platform in a future time.
Researchers will use the results of this study to learn whether the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp can help older adults take meaningful steps to improve their health and wellbeing.
127 studies on the registry are indexed under Patient Participation; 64 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 496 is above the median of 138 across 105 interventional studies indexed under Patient Participation.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants in this arm will use the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC), a web-based wellbeing assessment and recommendation platform, for 24 weeks. After completing the baseline assessment, participants will answer domain-specific follow-up questions for wellbeing areas with low scores or areas they want to improve. Based on these responses, the platform will generate evidence-based recommendations and actionable plans. Participants will also receive ongoing encouragement messages and check-ins by email or text during the 24-week study period.
Behavioral: Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC)
Participants in this arm will complete the same baseline assessment as the intervention group but will not receive access to the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp platform, personal action plans or recommendations, or digital support during the 24-week study period. Instead, they will receive weekly non-personalized general healthy aging informational messages by email.
Behavioral: General Healthy Aging Information
The Adult Wellbeing CheckUp (AWC) is a web-based wellbeing assessment and recommendation platform designed for older adults and care partners. Participants complete an online assessment of multiple wellbeing domains. The platform uses a rules-based algorithm to generate evidence-based guidance and actionable plans for domains with low scores or areas participants choose to improve. Participants in the intervention arm receive ongoing encouragement messages and check-ins via email or text over the 24-week study period.
Participants receive weekly non-personalized informational messages about general healthy aging topics delivered by email during the 24-week study period. These messages provide general education but do not include personal recommendations, interactive features, or access to the Adult Wellbeing CheckUp platform.
Change in Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13) Score
Patient activation measured using the 13-item Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13), a validated survey that assesses participants' knowledge, skills, and confidence for managing their health and wellbeing. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater activation. The primary analysis will compare change in PAM-13 scores between intervention and control groups.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24
Change in Self-Reported Actions Taken
Participant-reported actions taken to improve wellbeing in prioritized domains based on recommendations provided during the study. Responses are used to assess follow-through on recommended wellbeing actions.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change in Adult Wellbeing Assessment Score
Overall wellbeing measured using the Adult Wellbeing Assessment, a 13-item self-report questionnaire designed for older adults. The measure assesses multiple domains of wellbeing, including physical health, mental and emotional wellbeing, social connection, sense of purpose, and daily functioning. Responses are scored to produce an overall wellbeing score, with higher scores indicating better overall wellbeing.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change in Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) Score
Mental health symptoms measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4), a validated 4-item screening tool assessing anxiety and depression symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change in Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) Score
Physical activity level measured using the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA). Aerobic activity (RAPA-1) is scored based on the highest numbered activity level endorsed (1-7), classifying participants from sedentary to active. Strength and flexibility activities (RAPA-2) are recorded separately and categorized as none (0), strength only (1), flexibility only (2), or both strength and flexibility activities (3).
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change in UCLA Loneliness Scale-3 Score
Emotional loneliness measured using the UCLA Loneliness Scale-3, a validated 3-item self-report scale assessing perceived loneliness and social isolation. Scores range from 3 to 9, with higher scores indicating greater loneliness.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change in Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6) Score
Social isolation measured using the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6), a validated 6-item measure assessing perceived social support from family and friends. Scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating larger and more supportive social networks.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change in Duke Sense of Belonging Short Form Score
Sense of belonging and social connectedness measured using two items adapted from the Duke Social Support/Sense of Belonging questionnaire assessing frequency of contact and time spent with friends or family. The first item assesses frequency of contact with friends or family (in person, by phone, or by video) and is scored on a 5-point scale from 1 (rarely or never) to 5 (daily). The second item assesses the number of times participants spend time with someone who does not live with them in a typical week and is scored on a 4-point scale from 1 (none) to 4 (five or more times). Item scores are summed to produce a total score ranging from 2 to 9, with higher scores indicating greater social connectedness and sense of belonging.
