Mobile health app (iMHere 2.0) for veterans with spinal cord injury and their family caregivers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational translational project adapts and tailors the iMHere 2.0 mobile health system specifically for Veterans with spinal cord injury (SCI) and their family caregivers using a codesign approach. The team will co-develop and expand psychosocial content to create a dual-target intervention delivered through the app and will refine features with participant collaborators. Recruitment focuses on veterans with SCI and their family caregivers who can join remote sessions (Zoom) and use the app, and data collection emphasizes usability, acceptability, and feasibility outcomes. The study is conducted through the University of Pittsburgh site and is focused on implementation rather than definitive clinical efficacy.
