App Profile: VRheum

vRheum is a research study app that tracks symptoms and collects patient reported outcomes in children and young adults with childhood-onset rheumatic diseases and their parents. The app provides feedback about how health is changing over time. We hope to learn whether this app helps families better understand their child’s rheumatic disease.
This study is based in Boston Children’s Hospital of Harvard Medical School, one of the leading pediatric hospitals in the world. The study is sponsored by the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA), a large network of pediatric rheumatologists who aim to find the best methods to treat, prevent, or cure pediatric rheumatic diseases.
