Clinical Feasibility of Disease Managing Mobile App for Hyperthyroidism

Clinical Feasibility of Disease-managing Mobile Application in the Patients With Hyperthyroidism

This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of using a mobile app that integrates with wearable devices to monitor heart rate, check self-reported symptoms, provide disease-related information, and set medication reminders for patients with thyrotoxicosis. The study intends to evaluate how the use of the app affects disease progression, quality of life, and health-related behaviors associated with the disease.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects who have been newly diagnosed or are currently undergoing treatment for thyrotoxicosis at Bundang Seoul National University Hospital.
• Subjects must be able to use the smartphone app required for the use of wearable devices and their integration.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects who have constraints on normal activity due to diseases other than thyroid dysfunction.
• Subjects who are currently taking medication that affects heart rate.
• Subjects with heart conditions such as arrhythmia that affect heart rate.
• Subjects who cannot undergo antithyroid drug treatment and require surgery or radioactive iodine therapy.
