Phone alerts & home test kits aim to keep transplant patients safer

NCT ID NCT03910478

Summary

This study tested if making virus monitoring easier could help patients stick to their doctor's advice. Researchers wanted to see if sending reminders to a smartphone and letting patients collect a tiny blood sample at home would help them complete their weekly virus checks. The goal was to catch a dangerous virus called CMV early in people who had a bone marrow transplant, so they could get treatment before getting very sick.
