Forthis purpose we propose to use modern technologiessuch as smartphone in order to create alert when patients report weekly health satatus. We will compra patients randomize in control group with standart follow-up to patients randomize in the smartphone group.Moreover we will study the compliance and satisfactory degree of the use of this device in the interventional arm.
