An interventional study of InvolveMe in Renal Transplant Recipients and Non-functioning Pituitary Adenoma, sponsored by Oslo University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Norway. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-05-31.
Sponsored by Oslo University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The purpose with this study is to test a digital patient-provider communication tool for symptom and needs management among patients with chronic health conditions.
Living with chronic health conditions affects all areas of life. Fatigue, sleeping problems, pain and loneliness are common. In addition to troublesome symptoms that vary in intensity, many experience worry and uncertainty. There is a need to improve the quality of follow-up of patients with chronic health conditions. A digital patient-provider communication tool, which supports shared decision making, can be one way to improve quality.
The digital tool (InvolveMe) will provide patients with the opportunity to complete and submit a symptom and need assessment prior to out-patient visits at the hospital. Also, patients will have the opportunity to use secure e-mail for follow-up from health care providers in between hospital visits. The assessment will allow patient to prioritize what is important to talk with their health care providers about.
Such a tool can help to make changes in symptoms more visible to both patients and health care providers, as well as make it easier to ask for information and guidance to deal with the individual difficulties patients' experience. The goal is to better address symptoms and concerns and to enhance follow up and coordination between consultations as well as increase the quality of life and reduce illness related stress.
The digital communication tool is tested in a feasibility pilot study, including 23 patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas. Participants will be given the opportunity to use the digital communication tool with baseline measures and following measures after 3 months.
