Summary

This trial tests a smartphone app to help kidney transplant patients track meds, BP, & glucose, with the goal of improving care & outcomes, especially for African Americans.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for kidney transplant patients who are at least 18 years old and two or more years post-transplant. It's focused on helping African American patients in particular. Participants must be able to measure their own blood pressure and glucose if diabetic, use a mobile health app after training, and speak, hear, and read English.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a smartphone app managed by pharmacists that helps track medications, blood pressures, and blood sugars for those with diabetes. The aim is to see if this mHealth tool can improve medication adherence and overall outcomes after kidney transplants.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves using an mHealth app rather than a drug or medical procedure, there aren't typical side effects like you'd expect from medications. However, users may experience issues related to technology use such as frustration or difficulty with the interface.
