JITAI is an emerging intervention that incorporates passive mobile sensor data feedback (sleep and activity \[step\] data from a Fitbit ®), and real-time self-reporting of HRQOL via a study specific app called CareQOL to provide personalized feedback via app alert.
Participants will wear the Fitbit® and provide daily reports of HRQOL over a three-month (90 day) period
