Always Uniquely Me App for Emergency Department Visits
This study is looking at whether a mobile app called Always Uniquely Me can help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (PWIDD) have better experiences and reduce the need for restraints during emergency department (ED) visits. The app helps you organize your healthcare information and personal needs to improve communication with medical staff. Researchers want to see if using this app, compared to usual medical care, can lower the use of physical or chemical restraints during ED visits. They will also look at how different characteristics of PWIDD might affect these results. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, have an intellectual or developmental disability, have visited a Northwell Health ED in the last year, have a smartphone or tablet with internet, and speak English. The study aims to enroll 1500 participants.
