This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a digital app called SUPPORT-T that delivers supportive care to people with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (a serious lung disease) and their caregivers. The app includes guided lessons over 9 weeks, regular check-ins with a nurse via text and video calls, and quarterly virtual support groups over one year. Researchers want to see if this app makes it easier for patients—especially those in rural areas—to get the emotional and practical support they need.
Many patients with progressive lung fibrosis struggle to access palliative care (supportive care focused on comfort and quality of life), especially if they live far from major hospitals. This trial aims to test whether a mobile app can bridge that gap and give patients and caregivers better tools and support, no matter where they live.

If you are selected, you will have a video visit with the study team to get started. Then, over 9 weeks, you'll use the mobile app with guidance from a nurse who will check in with you every two weeks by text and video call. You'll also be invited to join free virtual support groups four times over the year. Throughout the study, you'll fill out brief questionnaires at week 1, week 9, month 6, and month 12 to help researchers understand how the app is working for you.
