Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive inflammatory disease that causes damage to multiple joints, decline in functional status, and premature mortality. Thus, effective and frequent objective assessments are necessary. Then, we developed a self-assessment system for RA patients based on a smartphone application. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a self-assessment system for RA patients using a smart-phone application. Methods: We measured daily disease activity in nine RA patients who used the smart-phone application for a period of three months. A disease activity score (DAS28) predictive model was used and feedback comments relating to disease activity were shown to patients via the smartphone application each day. To assess participants\u2019 RA disease activity, the DAS28 based on the C-reactive protein level was measured by a rheumatologist during monthly clinical visits. Results: The disease activity measured by the application correlated well with the patients\u2019 actual disease activity during the 3-month period, as assessed by clinical examination. Furthermore, most participants gave favourable responses to a questionnaire administered at the end of the 3-month period containing questions relating to the ease of use and usefulness of the system. Conclusions: The results of this feasibility study indicated that the DAS28 predictive model can longitudinally predict DAS28 and may be an acceptable and useful tool for assessment of RA disease activity for both patients and healthcare providers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3414\/me14-01-0106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,22]],"date-time":"2015-09-22T11:13:11Z","timestamp":1442920391000},"page":"65-69","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Self-assessment of Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Using a Smartphone Application"],"prefix":"10.3414","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"H.","family":"Ito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Yamada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Yoshitomi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Furu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Ito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Shinohara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Ura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Okamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Aoyama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tadao","family":"Tsuboyama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Nishiguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.3414\/ME14-01-0106-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1584.1996.tb00213.x"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME14-01-0106-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1529-0131(200007)43:7<1473::AID-ANR9>3.0.CO;2-N"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME14-01-0106-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/kel215a"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME14-01-0106-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-014-3117-9"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME14-01-0106-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Azevedo R, Bernardes M, Fonseca J, Lima A.
