New app aims to empower hepatitis delta patients in their own care
NCT ID NCT07442760
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called ePro-Diary HDV for people with hepatitis Delta, a rare but serious liver disease. The app helps patients track their health, communicate with doctors, and remember appointments. Researchers want to see if using the app helps patients attend more follow-up visits and improves their quality of life.
