Probably not a fit

Patients who do not speak German or have mild aortic stenosis may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates whether enhanced information provided through a mobile application can increase the subjective information level in patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis. The study focuses on patients who are scheduled for aortic valve replacement (TAVI) and aims to assess if this improved information can lead to better patient-reported outcomes. Participants will be required to complete surveys in German to measure their experiences and outcomes. The intervention involves the application of the mobile app designed specifically for this purpose.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved understanding and management of aortic stenosis for patients, enhancing their overall treatment experience.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of mobile apps for patient education is gaining traction, this specific approach targeting aortic stenosis is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
