研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this research study is to provide an avatar-based technology during a subject's stay for participants who have been admitted to the hospital for reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic transplant. The intervention received will be the care.coach technology.
详细描述
This research study is a Pilot Study, which means the investigators are studying the application in a smaller group of people to understand whether the technology, care.coach, is easy to use.
This is a single site study at Dana-Farber Brigham and Women's Cancer Center.
-
Aim 1 of the study will be an 8 - 10 participant focus group of nurses, navigator nurses, physicians, and NPs/PAs to refine the avatar protocols.
-
Aim 2 of the study will be a pilot of 18 participants undergoing RIC allogeneic HCT in the hospital.
-
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, a brief call with a research assistant during use of care.coach avatar, and a survey after study completion.
-
The avatar is designed to communicate with participants regarding transplantation education and provide reminders for eating, drinking, and activity.
-
care.coach is a digital, avatar-based technology that communicates using natural speech software.
-
care.coach is supporting this research by providing Dana-Farber access to its technology. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) also supports this research.

入选标准
- •for HCT focus group:
- •DFCI/HCC HCT nurse navigators, inpatient HCT nurses, and HCT physicians and extenders (NP/PA).
- •Inclusion Criteria for care.coach pilot:
- •Admitted for reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic HCT
排除标准
- •for care.coach pilot:
- •Deemed by clinical staff or RA to be unable to converse with an avatar, due to:
- •Severe, uncorrectable hearing impairment and simultaneous severe, uncorrectable vision impairment.
- •Severe speech impairment that precludes understanding by staff (and by extension, by the avatar).
- •Not fluent in English.
研究组 & 干预措施
care.coach Pilot
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, a brief call with a research assistant after tablet is given to subject, and a survey after a subject has completed the study.
- 3 consecutive cohorts of 6 RIC HCT patients each.
- care.coach is a "human-in the-loop" conversational agent (avatar) used to interact and converse with patients through natural dialogue and text-to-speech software that is powered by a team of trained human staff, called health advocates. A subject uses the avatar for up to 3 weeks.
干预措施: Care.Coach (Behavioral)
