Tablet app to help emergency patients learn about hepatitis C
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a patient-friendly electronic app given in the emergency department can increase what you know about hepatitis C and help you move to the next steps of care. It may be most helpful for people who are hepatitis C–positive but don’t yet have clear information about their status.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at what patients think about and are willing to use a quick “point-of-care” blood test for hepatitis C virus (HCV) after a positive antibody screen. It may help the ER find people with possible active infection faster and improve how testing is offered.
This trial studies point-of-care (on-site) testing to find hepatitis C in adults who are at higher risk. If hepatitis C is found, earlier detection can help you get connected to care sooner.
This study collects basic information from adults who already had a quick, on-site hepatitis C (HCV) test. It aims to improve how point-of-care testing is done and documented, which may lead to faster follow-up and care.
This study is setting up a program to test adults for hepatitis C antibodies using quick, point-of-care tests. It helps confirm how well this testing approach works in real-world care so more people can be identified and treated earlier.
This study aims to make hepatitis C treatment simpler and more accessible for people who inject drugs. If you join, you'll receive care that fits your lifestyle and helps cure hep C.
This study tests a new tool that helps doctors in the emergency department quickly check if a patient needs testing for hepatitis C. The goal is to find more cases early and connect people to care.
