Can a dashboard turn patient data into better arthritis care?
NCT ID NCT07782541
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores how a clinical dashboard can present patient-generated health data—like symptoms and activity tracked on smartphones or wearables—to improve care for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Researchers will observe consultations and interview patients and clinicians to understand how the dashboard is used and what barriers exist. Through co-design workshops, they will gather input on how to optimize the platform and whether predictive analytics could add value. The goal is to make patient-clinician collaboration more insightful and care more efficient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A clinical dashboard for presenting patient-generated health data
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better use of patient-generated health data in routine care, improving patient-clinician collaboration and care efficiency for chronic conditions like axSpA.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on design and usability, not clinical outcomes. The dashboard may not be widely adopted or may not improve care as hoped.
