Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test whether personalized messages from an easy-to-use mobile app improve mood and stress among care partners and to see if care partners like using the app.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control

Participants will wear the Fitbit® and provide daily reports of health related quality of life (HRQOL) over a three-month (90 day) period (without the personalized feedback).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will wear the Fitbit® and provide daily reports of HRQOL over a three-month (90 day) period

Just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI)

Participants will wear the Fitbit®, provide daily reports of health related quality of life (HRQOL) and receive personalized pushes over a three-month (90 day) period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

JITAI is an emerging intervention that incorporates passive mobile sensor data feedback (sleep and activity \[step\] data from a Fitbit ®), and real-time self-reporting of HRQOL via a study specific app called CareQOL to provide personalized feedback via app alert.
