Participants in eFHS are invited to enroll from the FHS Offspring and Omni Group 1 Cohorts during the in-person examination 10/5 at the FHS Research Center in Framingham, Massachusetts (MA), USA or remotely from home after the in-person examination. All eFHS participants have the eFHS myDataHelps mobile app (developed by FHS investigators with CareEvolution our industry partner) installed on their smartphone. The eFHS app allows communication with participants through notifications and data collection. Participants are asked to answer health surveys administered through the app.
Survey assessments will include 6 modules: cognition, pain, mood, physical function and performance, physical activity, and events. The interventions are defined by the patterns of administration of survey modules to the experimental and control groups. The administration of the cognition, pain, mood, and psychosocial modules follow the same pattern for both groups. However, the administration of the physical function, physical activity, and events modules is delayed by 2 weeks in the experimental group as compared to the control group.
