NCT ID NCT07457463
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new digital education and self-management program is practical and helpful for people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease. About 80 participants will use the program on their phone or computer during rehab or clinic visits. Researchers will measure how acceptable and useful the program is, and whether it leads to better health outcomes compared to standard care.
