BEHAVIORAL

Coaching Messages

Participants receive real-time self-management coaching messages based on the severity of their symptoms. When participants call, the IVR system will ask them about each of the selected symptoms, and the patient will report symptom presence and severity numerically with the touch-tone keypad.

BEHAVIORAL

Automated Daily Monitoring

Participants report daily symptoms and symptom severity. There are three categories of severity based on a numeric scale of 1 to 3 for mild symptoms, 4 to 7 for moderate symptoms, and 8 to 10 for severe symptoms.
