NCT ID NCT03400085
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a mobile health app can help living kidney donors complete their required follow-up visits after donating a kidney. About 400 donors will be randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard care. The goal is to see if the app improves compliance with check-ups at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after donation.
