New app could boost emergency care in remote uganda
NCT ID NCT07257705
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a mobile app called OASES that guides nurses and clinical officers in rural Uganda through emergency care steps for severe diarrhea, breathing problems, and seizures. About 15 clinicians used the app during simulated patient scenarios to see if it helped them follow treatment guidelines more accurately. No real patients were involved, and the results will help improve the app for future use.
