NCT04051333

Brief Summary

This is phase IIa feasibility and tolerability study of a mobile health (mHealth) application designed to study the effects of remote dietary counseling on disease progression and quality of life. The study will consist of two phases: Part I will consist of building and beta-testing the ALS Nutrition app and Part II will consist of enrolling a larger cohort of users into the app.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Short Form v1.0

    Patient Reported Global Health Questionnaire where the higher the T score the better

    Change over time over 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised

    Change over time over 6 months

Interventions

We have designed a mobile health app to provide nutritional counseling and to measure disease outcomes both through self-reported questionnaires and through passive data collection.
