ROAMM-EHR: Pilot Trial of a Real-Time Symptom Surveillance System for Post-Discharge Surgical Patients
University of Florida
Summary
In recent years, mobile health (mHealth) apps have promised improved monitoring of health conditions to improve clinical outcomes. The objective of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of using remotely collected patient generated health data (PGHD) from older patients undergoing bypass surgery due to chronic limb threatening ischemia. The hypothesis is that integrating PGHD with an EHR system will help providers manage post-surgical symptoms and thus improve post-operative mobility and quality of life health outcomes.
Description
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility of collecting patient generated health data (PGHD) remotely for aiding care management of patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia following vascular bypass or revascularization. DRemote data collected from a publicly available smartwatch will be displayed on an EHR interface for providers to view PGHD. The test of feasibility entails multiple components that include implementing a provider interface for viewing and acting on PGHD, establishing safety, ensuring quality assurance (e.g. quality of remote data collection), successful recrui…

Interventions
- BehavioralActionable remotely generated health data
Remotely captured, patient generated health data will be used to inform provider care following re-vascular surgery in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia
- BehavioralNon-Actionable remotely generated health data
Remotely captured, patient generated health data is captured, but will not be used to inform provider care following re-vascular surgery in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia
