Lay Description

Are you undergoing treatment for a blood cancer diagnosis and experiencing poor sleep?

Researchers at the Mays Cancer Center are seeking US-based adults diagnosed with blood cancer and experiencing sleep disturbance to participate in a 20-week remote study testing a digital wellness intervention. Participants in this study will be assigned to use one of two digital wellness apps 10 minutes per day over 8-weeks to determine if it can help improve sleep, immune function, and other psychological and emotional outcomes.

This study is completely remote (there are no in-person visits with the research team) and patients from across the USA are invited.

Participation involves:

  • One brief 30-minute virtual meeting with a research assistant
  • Completing online surveys
  • Providing three blood samples over the 20-week study at a lab close to you
  • Tracking sleep using a small device and daily diary
  • Using a wellness app for 10 minutes per day for 8-weeks

Participants who qualify and are enrolled in the study will be compensated at regular intervals, up to $100 total.
