Dietary Reporting In The Amyloidoses

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about malnutrition and weight loss in patients with Amyloidosis.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Is it feasible to use a low-cost nutrition-based application (apps) for use on a smartphone to obtain detailed information on caloric intake in Amyloidosis patients

Participants will be asked to:

* Download the MyFitnessPal application on their smartphone and view an online tutorial * After a week of practice, from weeks 2-9, participants will enter daily dietary intake as well as daily herbal/alternative supplement intake into the MyFitnessPal application on their smartphone. * complete a questionnaire prior to starting the application, after week 2 and at week 10 after starting the application

Treatment and study plan

Tracking Dietary/Supplement Intake on MyFitnessPal smartphone application (app)

Other

Amyloidosis patients will use MyFitnessPal application to track dietary intake and use of herbal/alternative supplements in from week 2-9. Patient's usage of the application and questionnaires completed by the patient at the start, Week 2 and Week 10 will determine feasibility.

Primary outcomes

  1. Adherence Rate

    Time frame: 56 days

    The adherence is defined by the status (yes vs. no) of data recording per day; The adherence rate will be calculated by the ratio of the number of days of adherence to the total number of days of trial (i.e., 56 days); The status of data recording per day will be considered 'yes' if the participant completes a daily survey.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Subsequent adherence rate

    Time frame: 63 days (= 56 days + Week 10)

    The subsequent adherence is the status of data recording per day during the third phase (Week 10) of trial participation (i.e., 7 days); The subsequent adherence rate will be calculated by the ratio of the number of days of adherence during the third phase (Week 10) of trial participation (i.e., 7 days); The status of data recording per day will be considered 'yes' if the participant completes a daily survey.
