What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
DeviceDevice
Participants will wear a wrist-based wearable device for 10 days to passively track physiological data (heart rate, steps, sleep, etc.).
Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) via My Personal Health Dashboard (MyPHD) Smartphone AppBehavioural
Participants will respond to ecological momentary assessments (EMA) via smartphone to actively report on sleep, mood, stress, and eating habits across a 10-day period.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Phenotyping Arm | Experimental | All participants (adolescents and young adults with cancer) will receive the digital phenotyping intervention, which includes wearing a smartwatch and using a smartphone-based EMA app over a 10-day period, with psychosocial assessments at baseline, day 10, and 2 months Receives: Device: Device; Behavioral: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) via My Personal Health Dashboard (MyPHD) Smartphone App |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Depressive Symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory - BDI)
The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; range 0-63) will be used to measure changes in depressive symptoms among adolescents and young adults over time. Higher scores indicate greater depressive symptom severity.
Measured: Baseline, Day 10, 2 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Participant Retention Rate (MyPHD App and Wearable Device)
Percentage of participants who remain active in the study through the 2-month follow-up period using the MyPHD app and wearable device.
Measured: Baseline to 2 months
Adherence to EMA Prompts
Mean percentage of EMA prompts completed by participants using the MyPHD mobile app during the 2-month study period. Completion will be assessed via EMA system analytics.
Measured: Baseline to 2 months
Wearable Device Return and Use Rate
Percentage of participants who return and use the wearable device as instructed during the study period. Device use will be tracked through backend device usage logs.
Measured: Baseline to 2 months
Change in Anxiety Symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory - BAI)
Measures changes in self-reported anxiety symptoms across the study period.
Measured: Baseline, Day 10, 2 months
Change in PTSD Symptoms (CROPS)
PTSD symptoms are measured using the Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS) for child participants.
Measured: Baseline
Change in PTSD Symptoms (PCL-5)
PTSD symptoms are measured using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) for general population participants.
Measured: Baseline
Change in Sleep Quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - PSQI)
Assesses subjective sleep quality and patterns.
Measured: Baseline, Day 10
