ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new tool called the Family Room App, which aims to help caregivers become more involved in the care of patients during serious illnesses, particularly when they are in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to improve the well-being of both patients and their caregivers by making it easier for families to engage in the care process. This could lead to better care quality, increased satisfaction, and potentially lower healthcare costs.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 19 years old and be the legally authorized representative or designated caregiver who can make medical decisions for a patient in the ICU. If you meet these criteria and are actively at the patient’s bedside, you may be eligible to join. Participants will have the opportunity to use the Family Room App during their hospital stay, which is designed to help families support their loved ones more effectively. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could help improve care for future patients and their families.
