Summary

This study tests a WeChat mini-program designed to help families care for children after congenital heart disease surgery. The program provides health education, peer support, and remote monitoring. Researchers will compare families using the app to those receiving standard phone follow-up, measuring family health, stress, and quality of life. The goal is to see if a simple digital tool can improve long-term recovery and family well-being.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: WeChat mini-program for home care
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a scalable digital tool to help families manage their child's recovery after heart surgery at home.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. The mini-program may not significantly improve outcomes over standard phone follow-up.
