Mobile Health System for Chronic and Complex Health Conditions

This study is testing a mobile health (mHealth) system, which includes a suite of apps and a clinician portal, for people with chronic and complex health conditions like Spinal Cord Injuries, Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Dysraphism, Brain Injuries, and Spina Bifida. The goal is to see if using this system for one year can help you better manage your health and improve your overall well-being compared to standard care. We'll be looking at how your self-management skills, perceived function and satisfaction, and quality of life change over time. You may be able to join if you are 12 years or older, have one of these conditions, and live at home. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 160 participants. It compares the mHealth system to standard care.
What's involved
You would use the mHealth system for one year. You will complete questionnaires about your self-management skills, perceived function and satisfaction, and quality of life every three months for up to 12 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your progress will be followed for up to 12 months after starting the study.
