简要总结
The objective is to conduct a pilot-feasibility trial of the "Healthy at Home" program, a multimodal intervention aimed at preventing acute care needs among COPD patients. The program will feature a digital platform and virtual pulmonary rehabilitation to facilitate complex care management of UMass Memorial Health Patients
详细描述
The Healthy at Home project is a pilot program aimed at improving care for patients who have COPD. This pilot aims to establish how self-management using a digital application, mobile health services, and support from a wellness coach can help achieve this goal. Participation in this study involves participants downloading a smartphone app, answering questionnaires, and wearing a Fitbit everyday, including during sleep throughout the 6-month study period. The investigators will ask that participants share their medical records and healthcare visit information through the secure study app, to help better understand how to treat patients with chronic health conditions. Participants will additionally have the option to enroll in Wellinks, a program that helps patients manage their breathing and COPD symptoms and provides patients with at-home medical equipment, one-on-one personalized virtual support from specially trained clinicians and coaches, and a separate easy-to-use app for tracking and communication.

结局指标
主要结局
Enroll
时间窗: 14 months
Develop and use a smartphone app to enroll 100 UMass Memorial Health patients into the Healthy at Home program based on their short-term risk of requiring acute care needs.
Enhance
时间窗: 18 months
Enhance the existing Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) dashboard that currently only tracks care episodes by remotely collecting biometric data (oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, body temperature, heart rate) and participant reported data to allow the MIH paramedics to review longitudinal history of the patients prior to and after providing care.
Evaluate
时间窗: 24 months
Follow enrolled participants for six months to measure feasibility (adherence, usability) and clinical (patient-reported outcomes, healthcare utilization, total medical expenditure) outcomes at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months. Compare outcomes across full-intervention (Healthy at Home w/ virtual pulmonary therapy group), partial-intervention (Healthy at Home), and control (synthetic controls derived from EMR) after adjusting for baseline risk of acute-care needs.
