Conditions

Interstitial Lung Disease

Brief summary

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness/safety/cost of the Smart Homespital system that provides a service that allows patients with interstitial lung disease to easily access and use biosignals generated using biosignal collection medical equipment at home.

Interventions

The Smart Homespital system can be applied for the first 3 months (12 weeks), and then the primary and secondary variables will be evaluated at 3, 6, 9months. While applying the Smart Homespital system, exercise three times a week, measure sleep twice a week, and questionnaire assessments (mMRC, CRQ, EQ-5D, K-CESD) are conducted once every two weeks.

The waiting list-control group will receive general medical services for the first 3 months and will receive a Smart Homespital system for 3-6 months. Primary and secondary variables will be monitored between 3, 6, and 9 months. While applying the Smart Homespital system, exercise three times a week, measure sleep twice a week, and questionnaire assessments (mMRC, CRQ, EQ-5D, K-CESD) are conducted once every two weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Respiratory symptom questionnaireAfter applying the Smart Homespital system(12weaks)For survey scores, success is defined as an increase in the respective defined MCID(the minimal clinically important difference) rises the baseline. 1\) Chronic respiratory questionnaire (CRQ) * Success: 4 points or more 2.)Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) * Success: 1points or more 3) EQ-5D * Success: 1 points or more

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Depression QuestionnaireSurvey every 2 weeks during the 12-week Homespital system application, then at 3, 6, and 9 months after the start of the study.K-CESD-R : Survey every 2 weeks during the 12-week Homespital system application, then at 3, 6, and 9 months after the start of the study. * Success Criteria: Achieving 4 points or more. * Success: 4 points or more
Service satisfaction evaluationAfter 12 weeks of applying the Smart Homespital system.* CSQ-8: After 12 weeks of applying the Smart Homespital system. * Success Criteria: Achieving 4 points or more.
safetyMeasured after the study ends (9 months later).* Number of hospital visits directly related to the Smart Home Hospital Program * Success Criteria: Less than 2 hospital visits related to the Smart Homespital program.
cost assessmentAfter study ends (9 months later)\- Criteria: Comparison of average hospital respiratory rehabilitation treatment costs with the Smart Homespital program's costs.
6 minute walking testAt 3, 6, and 9 months.\- Success Criteria: More than a 10% increase over the baseline.
pulmonary function testAt 3, 6, and 9 months.\- Success Criteria: Increase in FVC, FEV1, or DLCO by more than 10% at the time of registration.
system complianceDuring the 12-week period of applying the Homespital system.-Criteria: Maintaining a minimum of 5,000 steps/day during the 12-week period of applying the Homespital system.
