A Mobile Health Intervention in Caregivers of Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Examine Health-Related Quality of Life.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Caregivers are essential in supporting cancer patients, especially those undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). While traditional interventions have been beneficial for improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL), they typically require significant time and staff resources. To address this, we developed the Roadmap mHealth app, which incorporates resilience-building features based on positive psychology. The app integrates Fitbit^® devices to monitor and visualize steps, sleep, and self-reported mood in the Roadmap app. A two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to evaluate the impact of Roadmap's positive activities on caregiver HRQOL, measured by PROMIS^® Global Health (physical and mental components), at day-120 po
