ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of a new smartphone application called E-REVA® to help patients with intermittent claudication, a condition that causes pain in the legs while walking due to reduced blood flow. The app is designed to support patients in their walking rehabilitation by tracking their walking activity, including when pain occurs, how far they can walk, and how long it takes to recover after pain. The goal is to make it easier for patients to manage their condition at home and provide their doctors with useful information to give personalized advice during follow-ups.

To participate in this study, individuals must be over 18 years old and have experienced claudication for more than three months, among other health criteria. Participants can expect to use the E-REVA® app to monitor their walking and pain, and they will be compared to others who do not use the app. This innovative approach aims to improve access to rehabilitation for patients who may not have easy access to specialized centers, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and walking ability.
