About this trial

More than 40% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) experience uncontrolled, chronic symptoms. This proposal aims to improve symptom control for patients with GERD, by developing a mobile health (mHealth) Question Prompt List (QPL) intervention that helps patient ask questions with his/her physician about GERD. The first aim is to gather feedback about daily challenges of living with GERD. The second aim is to gather feedback on the prototype app. The third (primary) aim of this project is to develop the mHealth application and measure differences in patient activation when used compared to standard of care.
