Adaptive Cell Phone Support
Supportive Care Study
Summary
Study start date: February 1, 2026
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study is designed to explore ways to help adolescents and young adults with chronic health conditions stick to their medication plans. Participants will use a new cell phone-based support system for three weeks. The main aim is to gather their feedback on how easy and helpful the system is, so it can be improved for future use. This research is important as it seeks to address the challenge of medication adherence, which is a common issue for young people managing long-term health problems. Participants will be enrolled in a trial where they will use the intervention for a set period and then provide feedback on its usability and effectiveness. The study will not involve any new medications or treatments, just the use of a supportive digital tool. Researchers hope to learn what works best in keeping young patients engaged and adherent to their medication schedules. Their feedback will be crucial in shaping the final version of the intervention for future trials.
