What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Family Room application, a point-of-care tool designed to engage family caregivers in the care of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). By comparing caregiver experiences between those using the app and a control group receiving standard care, the study aims to assess improvements in caregiver well-being, engagement, and satisfaction. Participants will be recruited from multiple ICUs to ensure diverse representation, with a focus on enhancing the role of caregivers during serious illness. Surveys will be utilized to gather data on the impact of the application on caregivers' experiences.
