Using a phone app to help manage long-term health needs
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a mobile phone system that helps people with long-term, complex health conditions manage daily life and get support. If you can use a smartphone and pass the study checks, you may be able to try the self-management tools.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 12 years old
- You have a long-term, complex condition (examples include spina bifida, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, or traumatic brain injury)
- You live in your community (not in a care facility where staff provide daily care)
- You can complete the study’s smartphone and skills screening checks
- Your challenges can be supported by the phone system (it can’t work if you fail the key screenings with no workable support)
