Official title
Leveraging an Academic-Industry Partnership to Develop a Cancer-Specific Mobile Meditation App
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Using the IDEAS (Integrate, Design, Assess, and Share) framework, the investigators will conduct the following aims: Specific Aim 1: Using two focus groups, the investigators will INTEGRATE formative work, the social cognitive theory, and perspectives from the experienced-user advisory committee (N=20) who will use the current Calm platform to identify design content and features for a standalone cancer-specific app prototype leveraging the commercial infrastructure of the Calm platform. The advisory committee will consist of both cancer patients/survivors (n=10; 5 of each) and health care providers (n=10). Specific Aim 2: DESIGN a meditation app prototype tailored to cancer patients/survivors unique needs including content related to cancer-related experiences, emotions, symptoms, physical and psychological needs, cancer-specific symptom self monitoring, social support and sense of belonging within the app and through Facebook. Specific Aim 3: ASSESS (i.e., beta-test) the prototype's form and function with cancer patients/survivors (N=30). The investigators will use Bowen's feasibility model to determine via surveys and interviews: (a) acceptability (satisfaction, perceived appropriateness, perceived positive/negative effects); (b) demand (use of the app, interest or intention to use); (c) practicality (how it makes them feel, ease of use); (d) adaptation (suggestions for modifications to improve performance for cancer patients/survivors); and (e) integration (how can the app be integrated into the cancer "system") Feasibility benchmarks: \>80% of cancer patients/survivors will accept the prototype, demand the prototype for themselves and other cancer patients/survivors, and find it practical. Data from Aim 3 will guide refinement of the prototype to be tested in a fully powered RCT to establish long term engagement (Phase 2). This work will result in an evidence based, cancer-specific meditation app through a commercial platform that can be scaled and sold at discounted costs to clinic providers and directly to patients (SHARE; Phase 3).
