Summary
This study looks at whether a smartphone app called SpadCare can help patients who have a PICC line (a thin tube for giving medicine or nutrition) take better care of it at home. About 201 adults will either use the app or get standard care. The goal is to see if app users have fewer problems like infections or blockages, and feel more involved in their own care.
