Patient-centred eHealth approach to improving outcomes for gout sufferers

痛风是由过量的尿酸引起的，可以通过开药和患者坚持服用来控制。我们将在初级保健方面进行一项为期两年的对照试验，以测试电子健康工具显著改善痛风患者的预后。该工具跟踪患者的血浆尿酸盐、用药依从性、痛风发作，并提供教育、与痛风专家的互动和就医提醒。在改善的结果得到证实后，将在全国范围内推广这一痛风管理工具。

Gout, caused by excessive urate, can be controlled by prescribing medication and patients adhering to them. We will conduct a 2-year controlled trial in primary care to test an eHealth tool to significantly improve gout patient outcomes. This tool tracks patients plasma urate, medication adherence, gout attacks and provides education, interaction with gout experts and reminders of medical visits. Nationwide rollout of this gout management tool will occur after improved outcomes are proven.
