Economic Evaluation of an Education Platform for Patients With End-stage Renal Disease (PIC-R)

March 21, 2017 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Economic Evaluation of an Interactive Community-based Patient Education Platform Kidney Dialysis and Transplantation

1600 patients with severe, end stage renal disease or post transplant will be randomised 1:1:1 to either standard therapeutic education; or education using a specific app; or the enhanced interactive app using feedback messages.

The total follow up duration is 18 months. Primary endpoint is the cost utility of using app-based therapeutic intervention, secondary endpoints are: compliance with treatment guidelines, app use (professionals and patients), budget impact analysis
