Smartphone messages may boost medication adherence after liver transplant
NCT ID NCT07728604
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether sending structured digital follow-up messages to liver transplant patients for 12 weeks can help them take their immunosuppressive medication as prescribed and improve their quality of life. Half of the participants receive standard discharge education plus digital messages, while the other half receive standard care alone. Medication adherence and quality of life are measured before and after the intervention using validated questionnaires.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital follow-up supported patient education (structured digital messages via smartphone)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help liver transplant patients stay on their medication and feel better.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit of digital messages over standard care may be modest.
