Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of early detection of acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by the remote monitoring of vital signs.

The main question the study aims to answer is: Could a remote monitoring device allow for earlier detection of exacerbations with individualized monitoring and continuous data collection? All patients will receive conventional clinical follow-up based on their health status and clinical recommendations. At the same time, they will benefit from the Bora Care® medical remote monitoring device.

Description:

All patients will receive conventional clinical follow-up based on their health status and clinical recommendations. At the same time, they will benefit from the Bora Care® medical remote monitoring device.

To do this, they will be equipped with a Bora Band® connected wristband that measures vital signs at home, and the Bora Box® Gateway that ensures connectivity and allows automatic data uploading in real time to the Bora Connect® data visualization platform.

The home healthcare provider Air de Bretagne will be involved in the study to support each patient in the use of the connected wristband.

At the end of the follow-up period, the collected data will be retrospectively analysed to identify the most relevant metrics within the time series of vital signs for early detection of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis exacerbations, and to assess the feasibility of early detection of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis exacerbations using a score that could trigger an alert prior to the date the patient reports clinical signs or the date the pulmonologist is consulted for exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Procedure:

• Inclusion Visit : 6-minute walk test and prescription of oxygen therapy

• Home Installation Visit: installation of oxygen therapy by Air de Bretagne and setup of the Bora Connect® bracelet and Bora Box® Gateway

• Follow-up Visit with the Pulmonologist at 6 months (M6): routine examinations, satisfaction questionnaire, and quality of life questionnaire

• End of Study Visit with the Pulmonologist at 12 months (M12): routine examinations, satisfaction questionnaire, and quality of life questionnaire.

(In case of exacerbation, the follow-up will be extended by 3 months to collect post-exacerbation data.)

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assess the feasibility of early detection of acute IPF exacerbations with the Bora Care® Vital Signs Remote Monitoring Solution.	Correlation between changes in time series of vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate) in patients in the days prior to diagnosis of exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and onset of exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.	1 year
Secondary	Identify relevant metrics in the signals collected by the Bora Care® solution for early detection of medical events.	Evolution of vital signs in patients on days prior to the date of other medical events during follow-up.	1 year
Secondary	Assess compliance with the use of the Bora Care® bracelet by patients.	Number of hours of wearing the Bora Band® bracelet normalised by the total number of hours of the remote monitoring session, information collected via the Bora Care® too.	1 year
Secondary	Assess patient satisfaction and reassurance provided by the remote monitoring solution	Subjective assessment by the patient of the device of the reassurance provided by the device, of the help to resume physical activity provided by the device, obtained using satisfaction questionnaires at M6 and M12.; SF36 Quality of Life Questionnaire score collected at D0, M6 and M12.	1 year
Secondary	Assess the satisfaction and adherence of healthcare professionals to the remote monitoring solution.	Subjective assessment of health care professionals' satisfaction with and adherence to the Bora Care® remote monitoring solution, including an organizational impact assessment and an assessment of clinical relevance using a questionnaire at the end of the study.	1 year
Secondary	Assess side effects related to the Bora Care® device.	Number and nature of Bora Care® adverse events	1 year
