Dietary Reporting In The Amyloidoses

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
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

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adherence Rate | 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. | 56 days | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Subsequent adherence rate | 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. | 63 days (= 56 days + Week 10) |
