NCT ID NCT06761105
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes how 20 patients use a mobile app to record their symptoms before seeing a doctor in primary care. The app asks structured questions based on the symptoms entered, and the information is shared with the doctor. Researchers will analyze anonymous usage data to improve the tool and inform health services research.
