Interventions

  • Carealth Phone App — DEVICE
    The goal for this study is to assess Carealth app's ability to connect patients to resources to meet patient's identified SDH needs, with the end goal of assessing reduction in 30-day readmission and missed visits by connecting patients to resources to meet their social needs in a way that enables them to receive care earlier or avoid complications.
  • Let's Talk: Sharing information about Family Cancer Risk — BEHAVIORAL
    An interactive tool that patients can use to learn about how to talk with their family members about the family member's cancer risk

Study Details

SNAP ON II is a two-arm, parallel-group, multi-center, randomized trial for patients diagnosed with cancer who are planning to undergo expected uncomplicated surgical intervention for their cancer. The study seeks to test whether a mobile app (developed by PistevoDecision) that identifies and connects patients to resources to meet their basic needs (e.g., housing, food, transportation, etc) ccan improve patient outcomes. Prior to their scheduled surgery, patients will download a mobile/web app that asks about their social needs. Then, the treatment group will be connected to community-based resources through FindHelp and the control group will receive access to the Centers for Disease Control tool called Lets Talk: Sharing Info About Your Family Cancer Risk.

Arms

  • Sham Comparator: Let's Talk: Sharing information about Family Cancer Risk
    Participants in the control group will complete questions about their SDH needs in the Carealth mobile app but will not have any helpful resources attached to it that meet these needs. Instead, as an attention control, control group participants will be sent to an interactive tool created and validated by the Centers for Disease Control called Let's Talk: Sharing Info About Your Family Cancer Risk. This is an interactive tool that patients can use to learn about how to talk with their family members about the family member's cancer risk.
  • Experimental: Carealth App
    Participants in the treatment group will complete questions about their SDH needs in the Carealth app. Those with SDH needs will be referred to resources to meet those needs through Findhelp embedded into the app. Participants in the treatment group will complete this information pre-surgery, which will be considered a baseline measurement at the start of their participation in the trial. Participants in the treatment group will also receive reminders based on the post-surgery discharge instructions.
