A mobile app to help Spanish-speaking families manage pediatric post-transplant care.

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This research focuses on developing a Spanish-transcreated version of the BMT4me mobile health app, which is designed to assist caregivers of children who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplants. The app will provide medication reminders, track missed doses and symptoms, and allow caregivers to share important health information with healthcare providers. By making this app accessible in Spanish, the research aims to improve medication adherence among Spanish-speaking families, ultimately enhancing health outcomes for pediatric patients. The project builds on previous findings that highlighted the need for linguistically inclusive health tools.
