Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Using results from our previous work in mHealth interventions for individuals with SCI, we developed a dual-target intervention for both individuals with SCI and their caregivers.
The overall objective of this research study is to conduct translational research focused on adapting and tailoring the interactive Mobile Health and Rehabilitation (iMHere) 2.0 system to meet the needs of Veterans with SCI and their family caregivers, expanding the psychosocial intervention, and evaluating the feasibility of implementing the iMHere system among Veterans with SCI and their family caregivers.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Aim 1: To adapt and tailor the iMHere 2.0 system through a codesign process specifically tailored to meet the needs of Veterans with SCI and their FCGs.
The iMHere 2.0 system was designed for the general population of individuals with SCI, spina bifida, and cerebral palsy age 12 through adulthood. "Codesign" refers to a participatory approach to designing solutions in which participants are treated as equal collaborators in the design process. Codesign means designing with, not for, the participants (Veterans with SCI and their FCGs).
Aim 2: To refine and co-develop the psychosocial dual-target intervention model within iMHere 2.0 to cater specifically to Veterans with SCI and their FCGs.
We have conducted preliminary work on psychosocial interventions both for caregivers and care recipients. In this aim, we plan to expand the existing interventions by combining the materials that have been developed in the previous projects with co-design process of Aim 1 to achieve a user-centered, dual-target intervention that meets the needs of Veterans with SCI and their FCGs.
Aim 3: To conduct a study to evaluate usability and feasibility of implementing the iMHere 2.0 system among Veterans with SCI and their caregivers.
We plan to implement the adapted and expanded iMHere 2.0 system (the result of Aims 1 and 2) among Veterans with SCI and their FCGs in a consumer model of delivery. This includes a variety of care models where iMHere can be implemented: medical, community based, and consumer. In a consumer model, Veterans with SCI and their FCGs will use the iMHere system as a consumer tool outside the medical system.
