NCT07862244 · NOT YET RECRUITING
A Grief Support App for Adults Experiencing Bereavement
This trial tests a self-guided phone app called Daybreak for bereaved adults. It offers grief information, writing exercises, a memory space, and twice-daily check-ins. Researchers will measure grief symptoms and whether people find the app usable and acceptable. Phase is not applicable because this is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. It is an early look at how well the app works.
