2505. A Novel Mobile Phone Application for Remote Research Data Collection is Effective in Monitoring Chronic Sequelae After Acute Viral Infections

摘要

BackgroundAlthough much is known about the presentation of acute viral infections such as dengue fever, the long-term sequelae has not been systematically studied. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many viral infections, particularly flaviviral infections, may have long-term sequelae. Prospective longitudinal studies to evaluate such chronic health outcomes, however, require subjects to comply with multiple follow-up clinic visits, making them costly to run and vulnerable to high dropout rates. Using acute dengue and other febrile illnesses (OFI) as test cases, we aimed to explore the utility of a mobile phone application to evaluate the long-term sequelae and self-reported health outcomes in a cohort of patients up to one year post infection.
