Study Arms (2)
Part 1: Design and development
EXPERIMENTALThis part of the study is a qualitative study that will include Qualitative Interviews with participants to help design a patient-centered digital application.
Part 2: Feasibility study with two-arm randomization
EXPERIMENTALPatients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio through REDCap to one of the two study arms described below.
Interventions
Standard of Care, no efforts will be made toward any of the study objectives
Up to three interviews may be conducted per participant, and they may take place remotely via a secure videoconferencing service to limit disruptions to the participants schedule as well as any financial burden associated with travel.
