Aging Clinical Trial - My Smart Age With HIV: Smartphone Self-assessment

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Understanding the complexity of aging and frailty in chronic HIV infection motivated Italian team members to begin to build a frailty index (FI) including 37 health variables at the Modena HIV Metabolic Clinic (MHMC). The validation of FI in HIV patients have been recently published, and more data comparing FI in HIV infected vs un-infected people, have been presented at international meeting and are at present submitted for publication.

The research consortium (MHMC, HCC and HHMP) of this study was motivated to begin preliminary work in consideration of the similar multidisciplinary approach in Ageing care and capacity to address health status in ageing HIV patients using shared definitions of co-morbidities, multi-morbidity and measures of Physical Function and Cognition impairment, disability and quality of life. The investigators wanted to overcome the major criticism intrinsic in the FI, that is the needs to collects many variables not easily available in most HIV centres. The the investigators approach is to make patient living with HIV (PLWH), be the source of health variables taking advantage of information and communication technologies available with smart phones and fitness tracking device, collecting physiological parameters and patient related outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study the investigators plan to empower elderly HIV patients via health promotion, assessing reduction in health deficit and improvement in quality of life using My Smart Age (MySAwH) application.

MySAwH is an interactive mobile application designed to empower elderly HIV patients in health promotion through self assessment of ageing transition using a FI. FI is generated from health variables which include physical function data routinely collected by fitness tracking devices, Ecological momentary assessment data collected with smart phones and Physician health data collected during patient visits. The change in frailty index over time describes health transition. Although health generally worsens with age, the relationship between aging and health is dynamic and periodic improvement and stability in frailty index may be the result of the patients engagement in health promotion and improved life style. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
