App to guide self-acupressure
The intervention is delivered via a mobile health app. EnergyPoints app, on iOS and Android, educates and guides use of acupressure rituals to self-manage fatigue and sleep disturbances. The intervention involves using the app daily for 6 weeks. A follow-along format guides correct point stimulation for two acupressure rituals (stimulating and relaxing). The app synchronizes symptom self-reports with fitness tracker (e.g., an Apple Watch or Fitbit) sleep and activity data, allowing evaluation of response to acupressure. The dashboard provides options to tailor the rituals and pressing time (½, 1 or 2 min. per point) according to symptom experience, lifestyle, and schedule. Individuals can choose to use enhancements such as aromatherapy (including an instructional safety video), relaxing music, and/or visuals during each ritual and connect with other users via the social engagement feature.
