Do Technology Apps Improve Compliance in Adolescent Renal Transplant Recipients?
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Kidney Transplantation
In brief
The purpose of this study is to empower adolescent renal transplant recipients to fully understand their medical condition as well as to help them acquire the skills to maintain a healthy allograft well into adulthood. It is hoped that introducing technological applications (apps) will assist adolescents in managing medications, clinic appointments, lab appointments, and in tracking fluid intake, blood pressure, caloric intake, and exercise frequency. The investigators aim to improve adolescent post-renal transplant outcomes (increase medication adherence, lower clinic and laboratory no-show rate, lower blood pressure and BMI, maintain creatinine clearance, decrease proteinuria, decrease incidence of allograft rejection, decrease hospitalizations) as well as reduce cost.
