Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Patient Buddy Mobile Health App to Prevent Unavoidable Readmission, Improve HRQOL and Prevent Hospitalizations in Patients with Cirrhosis

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The study plans to follow three groups of cirrhotic patients from the time of hospital dismissal randomly divided into either receiving standard of care, using devices through which they can communicate with the clinical teams and using devices and structured follow-up over thirty days. The study aims to develop these devices so as to learn quickly about issues that patients and their caregivers are facing so that clinicans can intervene to stop unnecessary re-hospitalizations in this population.
