Mobile App for Arthritis
(RAPID-PsA Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The overall objective of this proposal is to test version 3.0 of the Arthritis smartphone app in a 12-month interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) design which will allow us to observe possible differences in visit frequency between the pre-and post-intervention periods as well as between the concurrent control group and those who receive the app. Our central hypothesis is that introduction of the app will reduce visit numbers per month in the group receiving the app, compared with a concurrent control group.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it requires participants to be using specific medications like guselkumab, infliximab, golimumab, or ustekinumab.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment for arthritis using the REMORA smartphone app?
How is the Arthritis smartphone app treatment different from other arthritis treatments?
