This longitudinal study examined feasibility of "Roadmap 1.0," a modular health information application integrated with the electronic medical record, provided to 30 adolescent and young adult (AYA) inpatients 11-24 years of age undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Feasibility was demonstrated: 70% accessed the application. Utilization was highest the first 2 weeks of hospitalization, with the laboratory results module used most. Users' tension and fatigue were higher than nonusers' at baseline, but not hospital discharge or day 100. Results suggest AYAs utilize health information technology in ways consistent with the HSCT trajectory and Roadmap 1.0 addressed informational and psychological needs.
