Filter by:This clinical trial tests the Eat, Move, Live (EML) Program in reducing the risk of chronic diseases among underserved communities by improving healthy lifestyle practices, increasing physical activity and encouraging healthy eating behaviors. EML is a series of free culturally and linguistically appropriate nutrition and physical activity sessions. The interactive education segment of the EML Program is culturally responsive, and based on the community EML program, and topics will include: nutrition guidelines, reading food labels, recipe modification and healthy food preparation, eating healthy on a budget, chronic diseases information and prevention strategies. The EML program may help reduce the risk of cancer and chronic diseases by encouraging more physical activity and healthy eating behaviors.
Prospective observational feasibility study to evaluate the role of wearable activity monitors to determine the feasibility and acceptability of remote monitoring using wearable technology and PROs to monitor fatigue and physical function in transgender cancer patients and survivors.
Most persons living with dementia (PlwD) have multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Managing MCC typically involves adhering to clinical practice guidelines for single diseases. This approach often results in burdensome care that usually does not reflect what matters most to patients. To address the challenges of caring for patients with MCC, Patient Priorities Care (PPC) was developed - a process that aligns treatment recommendations with patient priorities rather than single-disease guidelines, to improve care. Successful completion of this pragmatic pilot project will help determine how to best embedded PPC in a Healthcare system that serves a large Hispanic population. The investigators will determine if the benefits previously reported with the use of PPC hold in Hispanics with dementia.
The associations between food nutrition and safety factors with the risk of chronic diseases are still unclear. This study is conducted in Jinhua, a city with a high prevalence of chronic diseases in China, to assess relations between food nutrition and safety factors and chronic diseases.
Using a community-based participatory approach, this project aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of two technology-driven group activity programs on socioemotional health and physical activity in a local underserved community, Tarrant, Alabama. Participants will complete two six-week programs, specifically Lakeshore Online Fitness (Online) and Get Active with Virtual Reality (VR).
Multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) are costly and pervasive among older adults. MCCs account for 90% of Medicare spending, and 65% of Medicare beneficiaries have 3 or more chronic conditions; 23% have 5 or more. MCCs are often addressed in primary care, where time pressures force a focus on medication and lab results rather than self-management skills. Patients often struggle with treatment adherence and the emotional and physical burdens of self-management and health tracking. Chronic conditions reduce quality of life (QOL) and increase loneliness, which exacerbate those conditions. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate whether a voice-based platform is better for delivering an electronic health intervention to older adults than a text/typing-based platform. We have an evidence-based electronic health intervention (Elder Tree, ET) that has been shown to improve quality of life, physical and socio-emotional health outcomes for older adults with multiple chronic conditions when delivered via a text/typing-based system. The current project would test whether such patients would benefit even more if ET were delivered via a voice-based system (vs. the text-based system) because they would use it more consistently. ET is an existing intervention providing tools, motivation, and support on a computer platform to help older adults manage their health.
Used multi-year health examination member profile by multi-algorithms technology, to find comprehensive key hazard factors or important high-risk group components for metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease or more common chronic diseases.
This is a national-level research study of primary care physicians. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical evaluation and management (drug, procedures, counseling and other) of a subset of common patient care indications.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of providing healthy foods and nutrition education on participants' body weight, blood pressure, and average blood sugar level. The healthy food offerings tested in this study will help determine which option is best to improve health outcomes among Cleveland Clinic Akron General patients with chronic conditions. Findings from this study could guide doctors in deciding on appropriate nutrition and dietitian services for Cleveland Clinic patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the self-management of diabetes and hypertension can be improved with the use of mobile monitoring devices and nursing support.
