Summary

This study looked at whether people who had a bone marrow transplant would do a better job of monitoring for cytomegalovirus (CMV) if they could test themselves at home using a finger-prick blood spot and get reminders on a mobile device. About 150 transplant recipients took part, with some using the home test and others following standard care. The goal was to see if the home testing approach helped patients complete more of their recommended weekly CMV tests.
