The primary outcome of this study is the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis related complications during the study period, including disease flares, joint deformities, unplanned hospital visits, and worsening functional status. This will be assessed by comparing the frequency of such complications between patients using the My RA Journey mobile application and those receiving conventional follow-up care over the defined follow-up period. Timepoint: outcomes will be assessed at baseline and every 4weeks for total duration of 6months i.e at baseline, 4th week,8th week,12th week,16th week till 6months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes include evaluation of changes in disease activity scores (such as DAS28 or CDAI), treatment & physiotherapy adherence, patient satisfaction & engagement, & quality of life measures. Additional secondary outcomes include reduction in missed follow-up visits, improved medication compliance, & decreased frequency of emergency visits, measured periodically during the study duration.Timepoint: outcomes will be assessed at baseline & every 4weeks for total duration of 6months i.e at baseline, 4th week,8th week,12th week,16th week till 6months
