Chronic Disease of Cardiovascular System
Conditions
Brief summary
This is planned as a feasibility study. The primary objective is to evaluate a specially designed patient monitoring software Vitalbeat and standard mobile device hub termed Intel Health Application Platform (IHAP) in terms of its reliability, seamless data transmission and early data availability to the physician to improve patient physician interaction. The second objective is assessing patient response to use of mobile device monitoring and patient self-monitoring skills to transmit vital signs data using the IHAP wireless home hub device
Detailed description
The proposed study is a prospective single-center clinical feasibility study. All patients shall be monitored for a total period of 30 days from their date of recruitment. A total of 10 patients will be recruited from one center. The center will be provided with mobile devices which would be activated by a local mobile service provider. Additionally a tablet computer will be provided to the local investigator for monitoring patient's data, providing portability and immediate access of information. An automated blood pressure (BP) monitoring apparatus and a weighing scale will be provided to the patient. Vitalbeat software, with a mobile device home hub having a specially designed patient personalized software application (Vitalbeat from Aventyn, USA) for remote monitoring and a clinician monitoring software will be tested in the proposed study. The software has been developed in a manner which provides easy navigation and use, with provision of regular data entry of basic parameters used in chronic illness monitoring. The entered data is instantaneously available on the software monitored at the physician's end. This study is targeted towards chronic patients. A chronic patient is defined as a patient who has had within the last six months symptoms of chronic illness before enrollment. All patients above 18 years hospitalized and discharged alive with a primary diagnosis of a chronic illness shall be considered for recruitment. Upon enrollment into the study, patients will have mobile device monitoring along with existing standard care monitoring available at the local center.
Interventions
OTHERSymptoms of chronic illness.
The patient is advised to monitor BP and body weight daily in a standardized fashion as described below: * Body weight should be measured in the morning without clothes or shoes after emptying the urinary bladder but before breakfast. * BP should be measured in the morning preferably using the right arm, sitting comfortably in a chair after 5 minutes of rest in the seated position.
