Sallie Life U Feasibility Study (SLU)

Assessing the Feasibility of a Patient-Driven Chiropractic Patient Portal (SallieTM Life U) for Research Purposes

This feasibility trial explored the usability of the patient-driven chiropractic patient portal, Sallie™ Life U. The study aimed to recruit 30 participants to track their daily symptoms, triggers, and habits over 30 days while completing three questionnaires about their experience with the portal. The first questionnaire was administered after participants created their accounts, the second at the midpoint of tracking (day 15), and the third upon completing the tracking period (day 30). All participation in the study was conducted remotely using the participants' personal devices.
