Roadmap 2.0

Functionality & Mechanism

Roadmap 2.0 is a mobile health system delivering a positive psychological intervention for family caregivers of patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant. The interface provides a menu of eight structured activities designed to enhance positive emotions, character strengths, social connection, and purpose. The system also integrates functions for tracking mood and other health-related quality of life metrics. Sessions are self-directed, allowing caregivers to engage with the intervention content at their own pace within an outpatient context.

Evidence & Research Context

• The design of the app's psychological intervention components was informed by a qualitative study involving 24 family caregivers of HCT patients.
• This formative research established caregiver interest in a selectable menu of positive activities to enhance well-being and attenuate the stress associated with caregiving.
• A preliminary, single-institution evaluation of the predecessor system (BMT Roadmap 1.0) with 10 pediatric HCT caregivers indicated high usability and feasibility in an inpatient setting.
• The initial version provided caregivers with access to integrated clinical information, including lab results, medication lists, and transplant process trajectories.

Intended Use & Scope

The application is intended for use by family caregivers of hematopoietic cell transplant patients as an adjunct tool for psychological self-management. Its primary utility is to support well-being through structured positive psychology exercises. The system does not constitute medical advice or a replacement for professional mental health treatment, and users experiencing significant distress should consult their healthcare team.
