Brief summary
The primary study objective is to generate evidence as to the feasibility, usability, perceived value, and potential benefits of implementing the AMAZE™ platform into clinical practice.
Detailed description
AstraZeneca has developed the AMAZE™ disease management platform to be used across multiple disease indications to provide a unified experience for the management of patients throughout their patient care journey. AMAZE™ integrates multiple systems, including a patient mobile application where patients can enter daily symptoms and impact to communicate this information to their healthcare provider, as well as access disease educational materials. Implementation of AMAZE™ within clinical practice has not yet been evaluated. The results from this study will be used to inform any changes or modifications that need to be made to the technology platform, its implementation process, and explore impact on clinical outcomes.
Interventions
DEVICEAMAZE™ Disease Management Platform
The disease management platform includes a patient mobile application where patients can enter daily symptoms, communicate with their healthcare providers, and access educational materials. Additionally, the healthcare providers will have access to a dashboard that is integrated with the EMR and patient app.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Reported Rescue Medication usage | Up to 6 months | The number of times per month a patient used rescue medication as well as visited the emergency room or urgent care as reported on the app will be described from Month 1 through Month 6. |
| Symptoms and Triggers | Up to 6 months | Frequency of symptoms and frequency of triggers (for those that reported symptoms) reported on the app will be described weekly during Months 1, and then per month from Month 1 through Month 6 pending availability of data after Month 1. |
| Daily Asthma status | Up to 6 months | Patient daily asthma status (bad, okay, good) reported on the app will be described weekly during Month 1, and then per month from Month 1 through Month 6 pending availability of data after Month 1. |
| Clinician Dashboard Usage | Up to 6 months | Clinician dashboard usage will be measured as the mean number of days per week/month that the clinical site staff accessed the AMAZE™ dashboard over the 6-month period. |
| Patient App Usage | Up to 6 months | Patient app usage will be measured as the number of days the patient engages (i.e., completes daily log, sends a message) with the app at least once a day during the study period. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Staff Perception of Usability and Design of Dashboard | Up to 6 months | The usability of the AMAZE™ dashboard will be measured by the frequency of clinical staff who rate the app excellent (SUS score \>80.3), good (68-80.3), okay (68), poor (51-68), or awful (\<51) at months 1 and 6 |
| Evaluate ease of implementation of AMAZE™ in clinical setting | Up to 6 months | The ease of implementation of AMAZE™ will be measured by the frequency of clinical staff who report very easy or somewhat easy to the question How would you rate the overall ease of implementing AMAZE™ on a platform into your clinical practice? in the post-study survey at month 6. |
| Impact of AMAZE™ on patient visits | Up to 6 months | The impact of AMAZE™ on patient visits will be measured as the frequency of patients who select agree or strongly agree in response to the 9-items in the patient visit experience survey. |
| ER visits and Hospitalization avoidance | Up to 6 months | The impact of AMAZE™ on ER and hospitalizations will be measured as the frequency of patients who report agree or strongly agree with the item The visit helped avoid an ER or Urgent Care center visit or hospitalization from the patient visit experience survey |
| Patient Perception of Appointment Discussions and Taking Part in Asthma Decisions | Up to 6 months | The impact of AMAZE™ on improved patient communication with their provider will be measured as the frequency of patients who report agree or strongly agree with the items the app helped me discuss my asthma with my healthcare provider(s) during my most recent visit and I was included in making decisions about my asthma treatment during my most recent visit on the patient visit experience survey. |
| Patient Perception of Usability and Design of Mobile app | Up to 6 months | The usability of the AMAZE™ app will be measured by the frequency of patients who rate the app excellent (SUS score \>80.3), good (68-80.3), okay (68), poor (51-68), or awful (\<51) at months 1 and 6 |
| Evaluate impact of AMAZE™ on managing patients | Up to 6 months | The impact of AMAZE™ on managing patients will be measured by the frequency of clinical staff who report moderately or very well to the question Did the AMAZE™ help you manage your patients? in the post-study survey at month 6. |
| Evaluate Perceived Benefit of AMAZE™ in clinical setting | Up to 6 months | The perceived benefit of AMAZE™ will be evaluated by the frequency of clinical staff who endorse different perceived benefits based on the item what did you find the most useful about the AMAZE™ platform? in the post-study survey at month 6. |
| Evaluate Perceived Disadvantages of AMAZE™ in clinical setting | Up to 6 months | The perceived disadvantages of AMAZE™ will be evaluated by the frequency of clinical staff who endorse different perceived disadvantages based on the item what did you find the least useful or cumbersome about the AMAZE™ platform? in the post-study survey at month 6. |
| Evaluate patient satisfaction with healthcare experience | Up to 6 months | Patient satisfaction with their healthcare experience will be evaluated using the PSQ-18 items and subscale scores (General Satisfaction, Technical Quality, Interpersonal Manner, Communication, Financial Aspects, Time Spent with Doctor, Accessibility and Convenience) at Month 6. |
| Evaluate patient satisfaction with app | Up to 6 months | Satisfaction with the app features will be measured by the frequency of patients who report satisfaction on a scale of 1 (lowest satisfaction) to 5 (highest satisfaction) at months 1, 3, and 6. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluating clinician-reported asthma control | Up to 6 months | Asthma control was assessed by a clinician completed single item; asthma control at baseline will be evaluated. |
| Evaluating change in medication | Up to 6 months | Medication changes from baseline to six-month will be evaluated. |
| Characteristics of Patients Most Likely to Benefit from AMAZE™ | Up to 6 months | Demographic information reported by the patient and clinical information reported by the clinical staff will be used and stratified by subgroups, including age, asthma severity, education, and ethnicity, to evaluate characteristics of patients most likely to benefit from AMAZE™ |
| Changes in medication after clinical visit | Up to 6 months | Following a clinical visit any time during the study period, medication changes will be monitored to determine if any changes were prompted by the visit. |
| Changes in asthma symptoms before clinical visit | Up to 6 months | Frequency of symptoms reported in the patient daily log up to a week proceeding a clinical visit during the study period will be evaluated to assess trends in symptoms that may have triggered a visit. |
| Evaluating patient-reported asthma control | Up to 6 months | The impact of AMAZE™ on asthma control will be measured as the frequency of patients considered to be poorly controlled (ACT scores ≤15), not well-controlled (ACT scores 16-19, and well-controlled (ACT scores ≥20) from Month 1 through Month 6. |
