Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Kintsugi Usage
Establish the feasibility of the Kintsugi voice journaling app in participants. The investigators expect that the use of the voice journaling app will be feasible based on the frequency of use by participants over a three-month period. Frequency will be assessed on number of individual journal entries completed by participants.
3 Months
Kintsugi Satisfaction
Establish the acceptability of the Kintsugi voice journaling app in participants. Likert scales will be utilized in the satisfaction survey and the percentage for each answer will be reported to determine acceptability of the application. Possible responses range from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree" with "Strongly Agree" indicating a better outcome.
