This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests a web-based application called the Donor App that helps transplant candidates share their story and medical need on social media platforms like Facebook. The goal is to make it easier for people waiting for a kidney or liver transplant to connect with potential live donors who may be willing to donate. Research staff at participating transplant hospitals will help eligible patients use the app to reach out to friends, family, and community members.
Many people who need a kidney or liver transplant don't pursue finding a live donor because they're uncomfortable talking about their illness or don't know how to start that conversation. This trial aims to solve that problem by providing a simple, secure tool that helps patients share their transplant need widely and confidently.

If you qualify, a member of the research team will help you set up the Donor App by entering your basic information into a secure system and sending you a unique invitation link. You can then use the app to create and share your transplant story on Facebook and other social networks at your own pace. You can use the app for as long as you need while waiting for a transplant.
