Phone app aims to prevent hospital trips for people with spinal cord injuries

NCT ID NCT02592291

Summary

This study is testing a mobile phone app system designed to help people with chronic, complex conditions like spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy manage their daily care routines. The app provides reminders for tasks like catheter use and skin checks, and lets users report problems to their care team. Researchers want to see if using this system improves self-management skills, quality of life, and helps prevent serious complications like infections compared to standard care alone.
