Summary
This study tests a mobile app called MyChildCMC, designed to help parents of children with complex medical conditions spot early warning signs of health problems. The app tracks symptoms and sends alerts to care coordinators. Researchers will compare app users to those receiving usual care over 6 months, then follow both groups for another 6 months to see if benefits last. The goal is to reduce emergency room visits and hospital stays while improving quality of life.
