After obtaining written consent, participants will be asked to download and use the Calm meditation smartphone application everyday for a 30-day period. Participant demographics and clinical information will be collected at baseline. Participants will additionally be asked to complete questionnaires concerning health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as well as mental health, stress, and self-efficacy at baseline and at the end of the 30 day study period. A brief check-in via telephone will be conducted on day 15.
Participants using the calm app will be compared to participants receiving usual care who will be asked to complete identical sets of questionnaires. The participant may choose whether they join the Calm application vs usual care (questionnaires only) group on a voluntary basis; there is no pre-assignment. The Calm application is a publicly available program that is available to any patient independent of this study.
