Objectives The aim of this intervention is to assess how well and how efficiently the O2O Service Model works in delivering primary healthcare and managing chronic diseases for patients living in Pyeongchang-gun at the local government level. Trial design This is a randomized controlled trial with restricted, batch, blocked and individual random assignment. Investigators will allocate 1,000 participants from Pyeongchang-gun into two groups: one with diabetes (and pre-diabetes) and one with hypertension (including borderline cases), focusing on poorly controlled patients. As participants visit local health centers, their data will be sent to the research team for blocked randomization based on disease type, severity, and region. Assignment results will be communicated back to the centers and patients. Study setting The intervention will take place in Pyeongchang-gun, Kangwon-do, South Korea. The Smart Healthcare Center affiliated to Public Medical Center of Pyeongchang will primarily manage the O2O service by providing necessary education and human resources while receiving and monitoring data from each participant and local medical centers. The overall study (including the design of trial) is managed by Seoul National University College of Medicine while the provision of O2O service and data collection are primarily in charge of Smart Healthcare Center of Pyeongchang. Intervention in O2O Service Model: After initial health exams, each patient gets a custom care plan, classifying their disease and care level. The Pyeongchang Smart Healthcare Center, with doctors, tracks patients via an online platform, sending automated health messages. High-risk patients receive a two-week glucose monitor and guidance on lifestyle adjustments. Doctors access patient health records through the participant's personal online datastore (POD), with consent, integrating health and prescription history from national insurance, and can assess heart disease risk. Sample size The trial's sample size is determined using the MDES(Minimum Detectable Effect Size), with 1,000 participants divided equally between diabetes and hypertension groups. Each group is then split into treatment and control subgroups through random allocation. The MDES calculation, accounting for an explained outcome variation of 50% due to blocking and controls, and based on 500 subjects per group with equal allocation, aims for a high-accuracy effect size of 0.216 at a 5% significance level and 80% power. Assignment of interventions: allocation Participants will be randomly placed into groups by a computer program. This study uses a specific randomization method that is restricted and organized by individual characteristics. The research team will tell the centers and patients about their group assignment via phone and email. Neither the healthcare staff nor the participants will know the group allocation beforehand. The research team is in charge of the randomization process and informing everyone involved. The staff at Pyeongchang's Smart Healthcare Center will sign up participants and manage their placement into the assigned intervention groups. There will be no blinding after participants are assigned to their groups. List of Data For the study, the investigators have created questionnaires and interview formats to collect various data types, including random assignment records, baseline information, outcomes, service usage and costs, demographic and health details, physician-collected health records, life-log data from apps or web, clinical exam results, and service effectiveness and efficiency from the perspective of medical staff and administrators. Statistical methods For the analysis of primary and secondary outcomes, the investigators will employ ITT(Intention-to-Treat) and Regression-Adjusted Impact Estimate. When data allows (especially data from control group), the investigators will also conduct timeseries effect analysis. To investigate the time-series changes in program effects across multiple time points, the dependent variable (outcome variable) should be measured at each time point to estimate program effects repeatedly. Data management and monitoring The data management for the study will be conducted using electronic systems for secure and accurate data entry, coding, and storage, with robust checks and backups to ensure data quality, which will be archived for three years in compliance with bioethics standards before disposal according to privacy regulations. Participant confidentiality is prioritized through secure data collection and restricted access, with sharing only to authorized research team members and regulators using password protection or encryption. Additionally, a dedicated Data Monitoring Committee will oversee trial progress and adherence to protocols, while the Smart Healthcare Center collaborates with healthcare workers to manage patient services, with minimal adverse events expected.
Hypertension is a significant contributor to poor cardiovascular outcomes. Self-management support tools can increase patient behaviors to improve blood pressure. The investigators created a clinical decision support app, called COACH, to integrate home blood pressure data and goals into EHR reporting and workflow with communications informed by behavioral economics principles to support shared decision-making. The study aims to measure the effectiveness of the COACH intervention in a pragmatic multi-site randomized trial in a primary care setting.
The overall objective of the REBECCA studies at Stavanger University Hospital (SUH) is to improve the QoL of patients affected by cancer-related fatigue during and after end of treatment, by collecting multi-source real world data (RWD) and intervening based on the collected RWD. In the intervention study, REBECCA-2, the investigators will use the collected real world data to provide a personalised follow-up to the breast cancer patients in order to improve their quality of life. The patients in this study are randomised into 2 groups after end of primary treatment: - The control group (n=55): Patients will receive standard follow-up according to national guidelines plus 3 generic lifestyle consultation sessions via telephone. - The experimental REBECCA group (n=55): Patients will, in addition to receiving standard follow-up also receive REBECCA-assisted follow-up. Data will be collected from a REBECCA smartwatch, plug-in and PROMs. If the REBECCA system detects signs of deterioration in patients' QoL during the study period, the intervention will include changes in medication given, dietary advice, referral to a psychologist/psychiatrist and/or personal training with a physiotherapist at 'Pusterommet' (SUH) After 12 months of RWD collection participants will be offered the option to continue in the study for another 6 months. For patients in the experimental Rebecca group this includes the use of the REBECCA system for another 6 months. In the clinical REBECCA-2 study, patients' visits are planned every 6 months and include collection of both PROMs and biological samples.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the impact of the use of a connected impedance scale on the physical and mental quality of life of patients suffering from chronic diseases and participating in a physical activity rehabilitation program. The main objective is to know if a regular monitoring of the evolution of body composition parameters recorded by the connected scale would allow patients participating in the Physical Activity rehabilitation program at Hôtel-Dieu to follow in real time the effects of such program, not on weight itself but on body composition, and that this would contribute to a better perception of physical and mental quality of life at the end of the program 90 Participants will be randomized in two groups : - Control group (N = 45) : routine care - Interventionnal group (N=45) : routine care + use of connected scale All participants will undergo physical activity rehabilitation program during 6 weeks. Patients will be see again at 6 months, and the following parameters will be comparer between the two groups : - SF-36 questionnaire - Ricci & Gagnon questionnaire - 6MWT - 30 sec sit-to stand test - Ito-Shirado test - Sorensen test - Handgrip test - MaxV02
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to establish the long-term effect of pelvic floor re-education using biofeedback and home training for men with chronic pelvic pain. The main questions it aims to answer are if pelvic floor re-education using bio-feedback and home training will give a long-lasting improvement in symptoms, assessed with a validated symptom score (the National Institute of Health - Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) and if an improvement in symptoms can be correlated to objective measurements of pelvic floor function. Participants will be asked to do pelvic floor exercises daily during six months with additional sessions of bio-feedback training. The control group will have no changes in their on-going treatment for their chronic pelvic pain and will be offered to enter the treatment group after six months.
In this study, Chinese residents aged 35 to 75 years old were recruited from Fujian Province. Physical examination, questionnaire survey and biological sample collection were performed at baseline, and at least 4 years of follow-up were conducted. Information on newly discovered cardiovascular metabolic illnesses and comorbidities was collected during follow-up, and repeated surveys similar to baseline were conducted. To explore the relationship between environment, diet and lifestyle and the risk of cardiovascular metabolic diseases and concomitant disorders.
The Narrative Intervention for Chronic Illness-Heart Failure (NICI-HF) offers an asynchronous interactive text behavioral health intervention to advance behavioral health equity by facilitating access to care for people adjusting to living with heart failure (HF). The proposed study will recruit up to 70 people living with heart failure. This study will gain insight into living with heart failure and learn if the narrative-based intervention is feasible and acceptable for people living with heart failure. The study has two specific aims: Aim 1: Evaluate the effects of NICI-HF intervention on standard behavioral outcomes. The study investigators will review depression with the Personal Health Questionnaire-9 (primary) and anxiety with the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (secondary) outcomes, and explore self-care with the Self Care for Heart Failure Index by comparing the sham control (n=30) and NICI-HF intervention (n=30) groups at baseline, three months, and six months. Aim 2: Refine NICI-HF for feasibility and acceptability to support HF self-care and burdensome symptom management and to increase behavioral health equity by improving proximity to services. The study investigators will use the RE-AIM21 framework to tailor the intervention for HF using qualitative semi-structured interviews and mixed methods analysis. The study investigators will refine and manualize the intervention for future R01 testing across chronic illnesses with diverse and marginalized populations and service delivery models.
Investigators will conduct a randomized controlled evaluation of standard nutrition education vs. standard education + Nutri, and interactive clinical software that automates diet assessment and guides resident physicians through personalized and evidence-based diet counseling. Investigators will evaluate differences in resident-reported diet counseling competence and self-efficacy using survey measures. Investigators will evaluate skills using a simulated patient appointment and coding scheme described in prior work.
