Intervention

Behavioral:
• Just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI)
JITAI is an emerging intervention that incorporates passive mobile sensor data feedback (sleep and activity [step] data from a Fitbit ®), and real-time self-reporting of HRQOL via a study specific app called CareQOL to provide personalized feedback via app alert.
• Control
Participants will wear the Fitbit® and provide daily reports of HRQOL over a three-month (90 day) period

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Feasibility and Acceptability as Measured by the Percentage of Agree or Strongly Agree Responses to the Individual Items on the Feasibility Questionnaire	Items are scaled from 1 to 5 to indicate the level of agreement, where "1" indicates "strong disagreement" and "5" indicates "strong agreement".; Percentages shown are the combined percentage of participants who selected "agree" or "strongly agree" or their equivalent (as labeled).	3 months of wearing the Fitbit and completing the surveys
Secondary	Attrition as Measured by the Percent of Participants Completing the Study		3 months of wearing the Fitbit and completing the surveys
Secondary	Adherence as Measured by the Percentage of Contributed Data Over the Course of the Study	Contributed data percentages are shown by caregiver group (HD, SCI, HCT) for daily surveys, daily steps, daily sleep, calculated by number of days of data provided divided by number of total possible days that it could be provided.	3 months of wearing the Fitbit and completing the surveys
