Device: Mobile Monitoring Device
Registration Number
NCT04739943
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

Recently, interest in ways to monitor and care for patients remotely has significantly increased due to concerns for infection control as well as a way to increase access to regular clinic visits that may be limited for socioeconomic and geographic reasons. However, remote care can be limited by a lack of objective data to help guide clinical care. With respect to respiratory disease, caring for patients remotely may be enhanced by the ability of patients to monitor at home such things as vital signs, lung sounds, and lung function by spirometry. Enhanced methods to follow symptoms and track medication compliance may also be beneficial. These enhancements could improve care and quality of life both for persons with acute respiratory illnesses and those with chronic respiratory disease (such as asthma or COPD).

The purpose of this study is to develop and study methods for patients to monitor their respiratory health at home and make that data available to medical providers to improve their care.

Mobile MonitoringMobile Monitoring DeviceParticipants will be asked to use a smartphone or tablet application for remote monitoring or respiratory health. They will be followed over time with surveys as well as chart review to assess effects of adding these mobile monitoring elements to their standard care.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PROMIS-10 surveyUp to 2 years

The PROMIS Global-10 short form consists of 10 items that assess general domains of health and functioning including overall physical health, mental health, social health, pain, fatigue, and overall perceived quality of life.

Asthma Control Test (ACT)Up to 2 years

Asthma Control Test is a patient self-administered tool for identifying those with poorly controlled asthma.

Scores are on a 5-point scale (for symptoms and activities: 1=all the time to 5= not at all; for asthma control rating: 1=not controlled at all to 5=completely controlled). Sores range from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 (complete control of asthma), with higher scores reflecting greater asthma control. An ACT score \>19 indicates well-controlled asthma.
