Efficiency of the "Medidux" Smartphone App for Demission Management in Patients Medicated in Acute Admission Unit (AAU)
Sponsor: Mobile Health AG
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the use of the medidux™ smartphone app can optimize post-discharge management for patients admitted to Acute Admission Units (AAU) with non-urgent health complaints. This trial includes adult patients (age ≥ 18) in Emergency Severity Index (ESI) triage system groups 4 (standard) or 5 (non-urgent), presenting with primary symptoms such as cough, back pain, or abdominal discomfort. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the medidux™ app reduce the incidence of AAU readmissions, emergency hospitalizations, or consultations with other medical providers within 7 days after initial admission? Researchers will compare participants using the medidux™ app (intervention arm) with those receiving standard care (control arm) to observe potential differences in the rates of readmissions, emergency hospitalizations, and medical consultations. Participants will: * use the medidux™ app to monitor their symptoms and vital parameters for 7 days after discharge (intervention arm). * receive follow-up consultations at day 7 and at day 28 to assess symptom progression and any healthcare interactions (both arms).

Smartphone Application for Post-Discharge Symptom Monitoring
This intervention involves the use of a smartphone application designed for symptom monitoring. The app enables participants to log daily health data, including symptoms and vital signs, for 7 days following discharge. It provides automated prompts and guidance for self-management, including when to seek medical assistance. The app does not provide direct medical intervention but facilitates remote symptom tracking to reduce readmissions and emergency hospitalizations. Follow-up consultations are conducted at day 7 and day 28.
