Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
There is no differentiation between primary and secondary endpoints. The following endpoints are evaluated: To evaluate the effect of the Mida Rheuma App on patients' disease activity in addition to care as usual versus care as usual only in the treatment of participants with RA, measured through Routine assessment of patient index data 3 (RAPID3). To evaluate the effect of the Mida Rheuma App on patients' Quality of Life in addition to care as usual versus care as usual in the treatment of participants with RA, measured by Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). To evaluate the effect of the Mida Rheuma App on patients' Health Literacy in addition to care as usual versus care as usual in the treatment of participants with RA, measured by European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16). To evaluate the effect of the Mida Rheuma App on patients' Self-Efficacy in addition to care as usual versus care as usual in the treatment of participants with RA, measured by Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale-8 (ASES-8). To evaluate the effect of the Mida Rheuma App on patients’ Mental Health in addition to care as usual versus care as usual in the treatment of participants with RA, measured by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). To evaluate the safety of Mida Rheuma App use, measured by number of adverse events (AEs), severity rate of AEs, relationship of AEs with IP.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
