App aims to keep teen heart transplant patients alive and healthy
NCT ID NCT05732779
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a mobile app that lets teen heart transplant patients record themselves taking their anti-rejection medication. The goal is to improve medication adherence and reduce the risk of organ rejection and hospital stays. About 100 teens aged 10-21 who have had a heart transplant will use the app, and researchers will track their medication levels, rejection episodes, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
mobile health app for video directly observed therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical tool to help teen heart transplant patients stick to their medication schedule, potentially reducing rejection episodes and hospitalizations.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (100 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, not a new drug. Success depends on teens actually using the app consistently, and results may not apply to all transplant patients.
