Summary

This study tests a home monitoring program called LiverWatch for people with advanced liver disease (cirrhosis). Participants get a Fitbit, personalized nutrition advice, and weekly check-ins to boost activity and manage symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life compared to standard care alone.
