Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Patient Satisfaction

Patient satisfaction with the RestoreMe app will be measured using the Technology Acceptability Survey (TAS). The TAS consists of 10 questions including 7 quantitative items which will be used to assess Patient Satisfaction for the purposes of the study. Each of the 7 quantitative items on the survey represent a unique satisfaction parameter and are scored on a 5-point ordinal scale ranging from 1-5. Lower scores for an item correlate with increased satisfaction with the specific parameter and higher scores for an item correlate with decreased satisfaction for the specific parameter, yielding an overall possible scoring range of 7-35. Group scores will be summarized using basic descriptive statistics.

Time frame
Upon completion of treatment regimen or up to 12 months (+/1 month) after study entry

Secondary outcomes

1

Frequency of Dailly Engagement - Patients

Frequency of patient engagement will be assessed by the number/percentage of patients who interact with the RestoreMe app on a daily basis (i.e., number/percentage per day) as well as the number/percentage of days with at least one RestoreMe app engagement on a per patient basis (i.e., number/percentage of days with at least one patient engagement). Results will be summarized and reported by study arm/group using basic descriptive statistics.

Time frame
Up to approximately 12 months (+/1 month) after study entry
2

Frequency of Weekly Engagement - Patients

Frequency of patient engagement will be assessed by the number/percentage of patients who interact with the RestoreMe app on a weekly basis (i.e., number/percentage per week) as well as the number/percentage of weeks with at least one RestoreMe app engagement on a per patient basis (i.e., number/percentage of weeks with at least one patient engagement). Results will be summarized and reported by study arm/group using basic descriptive statistics.

Time frame
Up to approximately 12 months (+/1 month) after study entry
3

Frequency of Monthly Engagement - Patients

Frequency of patient engagement will be assessed by the number/percentage of patients who interact with the RestoreMe app on a monthly basis (i.e., number/percentage per month) as well as the number/percentage of months with at least one RestoreMe app engagement on a per patient basis (i.e., number/percentage of months with at least one patient engagement). Results will be summarized and reported by study arm/group using basic descriptive statistics.

Time frame
Up to approximately 12 months (+/1 month) after study entry
4

Frequency of Daily Engagement - Providers

Frequency of provider engagement will be assessed by the number/percentage of providers who interact with the RestoreMe app on a daily basis (i.e., number/percentage per day) as well as the number/percentage of days with at least one RestoreMe app engagement on a per provider basis (i.e., number/percentage of days with at least one provider engagement). Results will be summarized and reported by study arm/group using basic descriptive statistics.

Time frame
Up to approximately 12 months (+/1 month) after study entry
