The Remote Monitoring of Gout Feasibility Study in Primary Care
Sponsor: Diakonhjemmet Hospital
Summary
The goal of this feasibility study is to determine the feasibility of a patient self-management app (MinUrinsyregikt) for patients with gout. The primary objectives of the study are: 1. To determine the feasibility of a patient self-management app for patients with gout receiving GP follow-up. 2. To determine the feasibility of conducting a future randomised controlled trial to test the effectiveness of the app for patients with gout in primary care. Participants will be asked to test the self-management app for 3 months. Data will be collected from the participants and their GPs.

Patient self-management app 'MinUrinsyregikt'
The purpose of the 'MinUrinsyregikt' -app is to support self-management for patients with gout receiving urate lowering therapy. The content of the app reflects current treatment recommendations for gout. The app includes information videos and texts about gout and gout treatment, registration tools for gout flares, serum urate levels, and medication adherence. The app enables reminder alerts for medications and for blood sampling. After the monthly blood test of serum urate levels, the patients will register this value in the app and respond to two questions to validate the serum urate blood test value. The app will then provide a date for the next blood test and advice the patient to contact their GP if the serum urate level is over the treatment target.
