Can a smartphone app help liver patients avoid emergencies?
NCT ID NCT07376967
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a telemedicine platform called myLIVERcoach in 50 adults with liver cirrhosis. Participants used the app alongside standard care to answer questionnaires and track symptoms, aiming to catch complications early. The goal was to see if patients, caregivers, and doctors found the system useful and easy to use. This is a feasibility study, not a treatment trial.
