Summary

This study tests a mobile app called Family Room, designed to help family caregivers of ICU patients feel more engaged, satisfied, and less stressed. The app provides education, emotional support, and guidance on comfort care activities at the bedside. Researchers will compare app users to a control group using surveys, enrolling 100 adult caregivers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Family Room mobile application
What this could lead to
If it works, this app could give ICU families a practical tool to feel more involved and supported at the bedside.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study without a drug or device that directly treats disease. The app may not improve well-being or satisfaction as hoped.
