App-based check-ins to help teens take transplant medicines
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a phone app that uses video check-ins (called directly observed therapy) to help adolescent heart-transplant patients take their immunosuppression medicines as prescribed. It may help reduce missed doses, which is important for protecting the transplanted heart.
