The University of Alabama at Birmingham announced the launch of the MyLupus app to help patients with lupus manage their disease. The university revealed that the free, patient-centered tool was designed to provide information about lupus symptoms, treatment options, and healthy lifestyle habits, as well as aid patients in making treatment decisions with specialists. The MyLupus app was launched following positive results from a randomized trial demonstrating that the tool aided patients in making more informed decisions about their care. The university hopes that the application can help increase access to lupus knowledge and early therapeutics among patients, regardless of their age, sex, and race, and that the resource can soon be utilized in health-care systems across the world.
