Brief Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis RA is one of the most frequently occurring autoimmune rheumatic diseases affecting an estimated 1 of the global population 1 RA is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to the development of synovial inflammation and effusion ultimately followed by joint destruction and permanent disability

There is a discrepancy in the understanding of whats of importance when living a life with a chronic disease

The importance of patients perspectives concerning disease- and treatment related impacts is of crucial importance when involving patients in decisions about treatment and to support the patients in optimal medication-taking behaviour to ensure patient health and reduce health care costs There are still unmet needs that have a huge impact on quality of life QoL such as fatigue pain sleep and psychological issues etc which need to be taken seriously as these can have severe and debilitating consequences for the individual

The aim of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effects of the digital app RheumaBuddy41 RB41 and the ability to provide support and increase quality of life in patients with RA
Detailed Description: Rheumatoid arthritis RA incurs a substantial socioeconomic burden which has been supported by the Global Burden of Disease studies The substantial socioeconomic burden and the challenge of RA patients adhering to treatment is an important factor of this disease and its impact on both patients and society

An innovative approach is needed in order to find new ways to assist and truly empower patients to understand their disease increase compliance and thereby increase quality of life

Many RA patients experience a gap between the health care professionals HCPs and the patients regarding the understanding of living a life with a chronic disease - it is more than just blodsamples and swollentender jointsThis trial addresses a critical previously not well addressed question of patient- and clinical importance about the support of using electronically patient reported outcomes ePROs ensuring high-quality life living with a chronic disease in patients with RA

Digital health technology as adjunct to standard routine care provides a big opportunity to deliver continuous relevant timely and cost-effective support to patients including support behavioural changes improve quality of life and optimize treatment Many 86 of patients with RA agree that RA self-management apps can be very helpful but the lack of high-quality and scientifically validated apps are needed

The trial will create an evidence base covering the implications of disease- and treatment related concerns as well as non-adherence on quality of life QoL patient empowerment clinical symptoms and use of medication Decision and policy makers need a transparent evidence base to substantiate the judgment behind any rational clinical rheumatology practice The methodology is based on a bottom up approach that hopefully will provide a state-of-the-art model for ensuring patient value in health care settings

Altogether it is very likely that the use of data collected in RB41 will be of significant benefit to both patients with RA and HCPs

The aim of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effects of the digital app RheumaBuddy41 RB41 and the ability to provide support and increase quality of life in patients with RA
