Official title
Mobile Self-Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome for Adolescents: Pilot Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objective of the proposed research is to conduct user testing of a mobile-based self-management support intervention for adolescents and young adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a chronic digestive condition. The application (app; BodiMojo Buddy) uses a virtual coach that can serve to increase patient engagement through interactive skill-building, self-care, and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral activities. If the BodiMojo Buddy mobile app is successful, it will have a significant public health impact by providing a mobile resource to the 10-15% of the US population who suffer from IBS and potentially improving health outcomes and reducing significant costs to the US healthcare system. Study participation involves participants downloading and using the app for 30 days. During the 30 days, participants will interact with the app by inputting their current mood, receiving supportive feedback from the app, reading messages, and doing brief activities (such as relaxation activities, etc.). Before and after the 30 days of user testing, participants will complete a few brief questionnaires about their behavior, how their symptoms affect their life, and how they receive support from others. These questions will take around 20 minutes to complete at each administration.
