Mobile app and phone calls for ICD patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a mobile app and regular phone check-ins can help reduce anxiety and improve confidence for people with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). It may be a good fit if you have an ICD, feel some anxiety, and use an Android smartphone.
