Development and Pilot Testing of a Smartphone-Based Self-Care Program for Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B

The purpose of this study is to develop a smartphone-based self-care program (Hep B Care<sup>®</sup>) for patients with the chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). To pilot test the feasibility of Hep B Care<sup>®</sup>, 63 participants with chronic HBV were recruited from an outpat...
