Summary
This trial aims to develop an app to help GERD patients better manage their symptoms by asking questions about their condition. The app will be tested to measure its effectiveness.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with a clinical diagnosis of GERD, experiencing chronic symptoms despite using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Participants must have a GerdQ score of 8 or higher, access to the internet and a mobile device or computer, and be able to give consent.
What is being tested?
The study is testing an mHealth app designed to help GERD patients communicate better with their doctors. It involves developing the app based on patient feedback and measuring if it increases patient activation compared to usual care without the app.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves using an mHealth application, there are no direct medical side effects. However, participants may experience frustration or difficulty in using technology.
