NCT04540315 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 300

Last updated 2022-09-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized trial will study the effect of a mobile app that facilitates patient engagement (patients undergoing complex abdominal surgery will track metrics of interest to the surgeon, submit reports on their symptoms/pain/physical function, and upload wound images) on readmission to the hospital. This trial will also assess whether the app can impact surgical complication severity, number of emergency department visits, and readmission costs. 300 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for 6 months.
