About

Transplant Centers are facing new organisational challenges with regards to the growing number of patients they have to follow-up. We have developed and assessed the feasibility of using a novel web application permitting a medically-tailored follow-up of stable renal transplanted outpatients: Ap'TELECARE. This novel approach is likely to facilitate the organization of patients' follow-up at the Transplant Centre level as well as to provide secondary individual benefits in terms of therapeutic education, adherence to treatment and eventually to improve long term outcome.
