Summary

Recent developments in remote monitoring software can provide a proactive means for data transfer for healthcare teams to communicate with families regarding activities like weaning from feeding tubes. Children's Mercy began utilizing a mHealth technology - CHAMP App® - for tube weaning in the Fall of 2023. Research gaps remain in this population, including comparing the experiences of families who could wean with methods available prior to the innovative use of a medical team collaborating with mHealth technology. This will be a single site study with one-time naturalistic, semi-structured parent interviews of children who have attempted tube weaning in their homes with two different models of care (standard ambulatory tube weaning and with the CHAMP App pilot).
