This randomized controlled trial investigated the utility of an electronic diary for home monitoring by lung transplant candidates in 52 subjects following standard telephone reporting procedures and 67 subjects using an electronic diary to record and transmit a range of health-related measures. Subjects were able to use the diary without difficulty and with good adherence but there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between groups. This is why good ideas need to be tested.
