A smartphone tool may help cystic fibrosis patients survive the lung transplant waitlist

This trial tests whether a home monitoring tool — combining daily lung function measurements and symptom surveys — can help doctors better manage cystic fibrosis patients who are waiting for a lung transplant. The tool sends data to the clinic, which may trigger earlier adjustments to a patient's priority score for transplant. Ten adults with cystic fibrosis who are already listed for a lung transplant will use the tool and be followed to see if it improves their chances of getting a transplant in time.
