The long-term goal of this research is to improve physical, emotional and social post-treatment outcomes in head and neck cancer survivors and caregivers by implementing a nutrition-focused mobile-Support program to prepare and support caregivers after treatment. Head and neck cancer survivors and their primary caregivers (N=25 dyads) will be recruited to a single-arm intervention study to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and short-term effects of a nutrition-focused mobile support system. The intervention includes 1) a clinic visit (offered in-person or virtually) with a tablet-based needs assessment at the end of or after completing treatment which will generate 2) a tailored care plan with messages, educational materials and referrals mapped to survivor and caregiver-endorsed concerns and 3) a caregiver App with encouragement, reminders and tips delivered through messaging and peer videos. Participants will complete baseline and 6-week follow-up surveys.
