First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app called Roadmap 2.0 could improve the quality of life for caregivers and patients undergoing stem cell transplants. Over 370 caregivers and patients used a Fitbit tracker and answered surveys. Some also got the app with extra positive activities. The goal was to see if the app helped caregivers feel better emotionally and physically during a stressful time.
