ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called Spanish BMT4me Usability & Acceptability, is designed to evaluate a mobile health app created to help parents of children who are going through a bone marrow transplant. The goal is to make sure the app works well and is easy for Spanish-speaking parents to use during the first few months after their child’s transplant. The study will take place at Nationwide Children's Hospital and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and they are currently looking for participants.

To be eligible for this trial, caregivers must have children aged 0 to 17 who have recently had a bone marrow transplant and are expected to leave the hospital before 100 days after the procedure. Caregivers need to be at least 18 years old, speak Spanish, and have a smartphone that can download apps. Participants will have the opportunity to test the app and share their thoughts on how helpful and user-friendly it is. This feedback will be invaluable in improving the app for future families facing similar challenges.
