NCT ID NCT07301398
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will create and test a WeChat mini-program that provides health education to people with interstitial lung disease. The program covers disease knowledge, medication, diet, and rehabilitation, and allows patients to check test results and consult with doctors. Researchers hope this will improve patients' quality of life and reduce the need for hospital visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- WeChat mini-program health education
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way for interstitial lung disease patients to manage their condition at home and reduce hospital visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (92 participants) focused on building and testing a program, not on proving medical benefit. The mini-program may not work for all patients or may not lead to lasting improvements.
