New app aims to keep kids with heart disease safe at home
NCT ID NCT06034392
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called CHAMP that lets parents of children with complex congenital heart disease enter health data and upload photos or videos from home. The goal is to see if the app helps doctors monitor the child's condition remotely and improve communication with families. Up to 1,000 children and their parents will take part across multiple hospitals.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CHAMP App (mobile software application)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help doctors monitor children with heart conditions from home, potentially reducing hospital visits and improving care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on usability and safety, not on curing or treating the disease. The app itself does not monitor the child's condition directly.
