The Remote Monitoring of Gout Study
Sponsor: Diakonhjemmet Hospital
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to: compare a new digital self-management treatment strategy to usual care, for patients with gout receiving urate lowering therapy in specialist healthcare. The digital self-management strategy consists of app-based remote follow-up with the 'Urica' app, and remote monitoring by a nurse. Usual care consists of state-of-the-art nurse-led treat-to-target follow-up, with regular telephone consultations. The main question the study aims to answer is: Is the digital self-management strategy for patients with gout non-inferior compared to usual care in obtaining and maintaining a low serum urate level at 12 months.

Interventions
Urika
Self-management application for patients with gout receiving urate lowering therapy. The 'Urika'-app includes films and written information about gout and gout management, reminders for blood-tests and medication, a visualisation of serum urate level over time, and an algorithm to calculate the medication drug-dose escalation. The app also includes a chat function and a secure web-platform for remote monitoring and communication between the participant and nurse. The study nurse will log into the web-platform on weekdays to check patient-reported side effects, adherence to medication, the current dose, and the need for a renewal of urate lowering therapy prescription.
Nurse-led follow-up with telephone consultations.
Nurse-led follow-up in specialist healthcare with monthly blood tests and telephone consultations until the treatment target is reached.
