A Study to Evaluate Smartphone-based Digital Phenotyping for Relapse Prediction in Alcohol-associated Liver Disease

Overview

About this study

The primary aim of this study is to define a comprehensive digital phenotype that predicts risk for near-future relapse or relapse in alcohol use in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease.

The secondary aim of this study is to assess the relationship between this digital phenotype and markers of disease severity outcome, including MELD score and readmission rates.
