ClinConnect Summary
The clinical trial titled "Improving Congenital Heart Disease Care" is studying a new digital tool called "Empower My Congenital Health" (EmpowerMyCH). This tool is designed to help adults with congenital heart disease feel more confident and engaged in managing their health as they transition to adult healthcare. It includes features like a digital medical passport, updated health information, community support, and personal stories from other patients. The goal is to see how well this tool works in helping patients navigate their healthcare and improve their quality of life.
To participate in this trial, individuals must be 18 years or older and have congenital heart disease. They should also be able to sign a consent form to join. Unfortunately, those who have developmental delays and cannot provide consent are not eligible. Participants will be able to use the EmpowerMyCH tool and help researchers understand its effectiveness. This trial is currently recruiting, and anyone interested in learning more is encouraged to reach out.
