Testing Osteo-Buddy to improve knowledge about osteoporosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a smartphone app called Osteo-Buddy that helps people learn about bone health and osteoporosis. It is for those at medium or high risk of osteoporosis who have not yet been tested or treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 50 years old or older
- You must have a medium or high risk of osteoporosis based on a quick self-assessment tool called OSTA

This trial tests a boron-based supplement called OsteoBor to see if it helps strengthen bones in postmenopausal women who have osteoporosis (low bone density). You would take OsteoBor or a placebo daily along with calcium and vitamin D.
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work and how strong your muscles are, in women after menopause with osteoporosis. You may be asked to start standard osteoporosis treatment, and the researchers will study pain and changes related to vascular function and sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength).
This study tests whether a digital education program can help older adults with osteoporosis learn more about their condition and reduce their risk of fractures. It is designed for patients who have been prescribed medication for osteoporosis.
This trial tests a digital education program for people with osteoporosis or osteopenia. It aims to help you learn more about your bone health and how to manage it, all from home using the 1177.se platform.
This study tests whether artificial intelligence can help identify people at risk for weak bones (osteoporosis) using chest X-rays. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to either standard screening or AI-enhanced screening to see which approach works better.
This study checks if a new computer program can find people at risk for osteoporosis more easily, using CT scans you already had. If you are found to be high risk, you'll get a free bone density test (DXA) to confirm, and help improve this tool.
