Summary
This study tested a smartphone app (BMT4me) designed to help caregivers of children who had a stem cell transplant keep track of their child's daily medications. Fifty caregivers of children aged 0-21 participated. The goal was to see if the app was easy to use and if it could improve how consistently children took their immunosuppressant or anti-infective medicines after leaving the hospital.
