Official Title: Mobile-Thrive - A Family Self-Management Approach to Failure to Thrive
Brief Summary: Failure to Thrive negatively affects growth, cognition, behavior, and quality of life (QoL), which can be devastating and enduring. These outcomes are high-cost and lead to increased family stress and negatively affect the caregiver-child relationship. Therefore, families need increased access to materials that will help them understand their child's health and help them use new feeding behaviors to improve the child's nutrition and growth. Standard care with the addition of Mobile Thrive (M-Thrive), our innovative smart phone-based mobile app, is intended to demonstrate the clinical advantages of using mobile health technology (mHealth) in comparison to standard care alone.
