Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BEHAVIORAL - Pulmonary Fibrosis self-management package and smartphone application

Experimental: REBUILD-SM Group - Participants randomised to REBUILD-SM will receive the self-management package as well as the RE-BUILD app. Structured self-management support via telephone or Zoom call will be provided 4 times during the 12-week intervention period.

No intervention: Standard Care Group - In the control arm, participants will receive standard care and a reduced capability version of the RE-BUILD app to be used for data-capture only. They will also receive phone/Zoom calls at the same frequency during the 12-week intervention period, but no health advice will be given. After 26 weeks, participants in this group will receive access to the fully functional RE-BUILD app.


BEHAVIORAL: Pulmonary Fibrosis self-management package and smartphone application
The pulmonary fibrosis package includes modules on understanding treatment options for pulmonary fibrosis, managing medication and side effects, understanding and accessing clinical trials, managing shortness of breath, managing fatigue and mood, managing co-existing conditions, the role and importance of pulmonary rehabilitation and regular physical activity, role of oxygen therapy, smoking cessation advice and support, accessing community support, and communicating with others when living with pulmonary fibrosis.

The RE-BUILD app is used as a tool for data collection and to help participants self-monitor their disease over time. Participants enter their health data, including baseline conditions, medications and diagnosis, pulmonary function results and supplementary oxygen use. It also tracks air quality data close to the participant as well as physical activity level (step count). The app also has links to ILD-related educational resources.

Summary
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare REBUILD-SM (a purpose-built smartphone app and self-management package) with standard care in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The main question it aims to answer is:

• Does REBUILD-SM improve health-related quality of life, symptoms, anxiety, self-efficacy and physical activity for people with ILD?

Participants in the intervention group will work through the self-management package with support from a healthcare professional via phone or Zoom. They will also enter deidentified health data into the RE-BUILD smartphone app to track their progress over time. Participants in the control group will use a reduced functionality version of the smartphone app only.

Researchers will compare both groups to see if there is any difference in health-related quality of life, symptoms, anxiety, self-efficacy and level of physical activity.
