Real-time Symptom Monitoring to Prevent Adverse Events

This study is testing a new way to help prevent health problems (adverse events) after you leave the hospital. It uses an ePRO Application, which is a web-based tool that helps you communicate your symptoms and provides a discharge checklist. The goal is to identify potential problems early by using your reported symptoms and information from your medical record, then sharing this with your doctors. Researchers want to see if this tool can reduce adverse events within 30 days after you go home. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older), have been in the general medicine services at Brigham and Women's Hospital or Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital for at least 24 hours, are going home, and speak English.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 1300 participants. It will compare the ePRO Application to standard care to see its impact.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
