Anonymous symptom-reporting app to improve GP care

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The project analyzes anonymized, retrospective usage data from a mobile app that guides patients through structured symptom questions on a tablet or other device and transfers the information to the practice electronic record. Data are provided by the app distributor and come from patients who used the tool in participating general practices in Lower Saxony. This cross-sectional, observational analysis aims to identify patterns of use and opportunities for further development of the tool and to inform health services questions such as consultation frequency and complaint patterns. No individual patient identifiers are used and the analysis focuses on routine, anonymous app data.
