This study developed a mobile app to help individuals with multiple chronic conditions manage their health. The intervention aims to improve health literacy and patient activation for better self-management.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Health Literacy Research
  • Chronic Disease Management

Background:

  • Health literacy is crucial for active healthcare participation, yet many elderly and minority groups have low levels, disproportionately affecting them with chronic illnesses.
  • Chronic disease self-management (CDSM) interventions are vital for these populations, addressing issues like pain, fatigue, and treatment adherence.
  • Previous computer-delivered interventions showed promise, but efficacy in individuals with low health literacy and multiple conditions requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computer-delivered mobile intervention providing essential information for individuals with chronic conditions to manage their health.
  • To address self-management challenges including pain, sleep, fatigue, depression, anger, stress, memory, and treatment adherence.
