AI Chatbot-Enabled ePRO Symptom Monitoring and Self-Management for Early Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome
Taiwan72 participantsStarted 2026-05-30
Plain-language summary
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate whether an AI chatbot-enabled, nurse-led electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) intervention can improve symptom management and self-care in adults with early-stage cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. The study will also assess the safety and feasibility of the intervention. Researchers will investigate whether the program reduces symptom burden, improves patient activation and health literacy, and lowers healthcare utilization such as emergency department visits and hospitalizations compared with usual ePRO monitoring alone. A total of 72 participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which receives weekly AI chatbot-supported symptom monitoring combined with nurse-led feedback and self-management support, or a control group receiving ePRO monitoring without feedback. Participants will complete PROMIS-29 assessments weekly and attend study evaluations at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, while clinical outcomes and healthcare use are tracked through electronic medical records.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
