Brief summary: The study focuses on patients who require outpatient infusion of therapy ("Infusions, Intravenous"\[Mesh\]) "Administration, Intravenous"\[Mesh\] ("Home Infusion Therapy"\[Mesh\]) "Parenteral Nutrition, Home"\[Mesh\] via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) ("Central Venous Catheters"\[MeSH\] "Catheterization, Central Venous"\[MeSH\] "Catheterization, Peripheral" \[MeSH\] "Vascular Access Devices"\[Mesh\] )

Detailed description: The patients, who receive training ("Patient Education as Topic"\[Mesh\] "patient participation"\[MeSH Terms\] ) via an app on their personal mobile phone ("User-Computer Interface"\[Mesh\] "Smartphone"\[MeSH\] "Mobile Applications"\[MeSH\] "Computers, Handheld"\[Mesh\] "Digital Health"\[Mesh\] are able to perform specialized care ("Nursing"\[Mesh\]) Care"\[MeSH\] "Delivery of Health Care"\[Mesh:NoExp\] "Home Nursing"\[MeSH\] "Self Administration"\[Mesh\] to reduce complications ("adverse effects"\[MeSH Subheading\] "Catheter-Related Infections"\[Mesh\] ) so that they are monitored in real time by those responsible for the catheter. ("Telemedicine"\[Mesh\]
