Filter by:Methods Study Procedures A two-centred randomized control trial (RCT) was conducted to evaluate the use of safety reporting via a mobile app compared to safety reporting via web-based CANVAS notifications amongst individuals receiving the influenza vaccine from October 6 to November 29, 2020 during the seasonal influenza vaccine campaign in Ottawa and Vancouver, Canada. Individuals were recruited at the time of receiving their influenza vaccine. Eligibility criteria included the ability to speak English or French, having an active email address and telephone number, and being immunized with the seasonal influenza vaccine. Randomization After study enrollment, participants were randomized to receive the online safety survey either through the mobile app or emailed a link to the online survey using a four-block randomization design. Web-based notification arm All participants randomized to the web-based notification arm received the following web-based CANVAS notifications. Briefly, participants received an email notifying them of their registration in the study. Eight days following their influenza vaccine, participants received an email with the survey link asking them to complete their online influenza vaccine safety survey. Participants received a reminder email on day 11 if they did not complete their survey. Further details on CANVAS surveillance and description of the questionnaire can be found here. Mobile app arm Participants randomized to the mobile app arm, received an email asking them to download the app and activate their account. Users who did not activate their account after 48 hours received a reminder email. Participants who activated their accounts, could spontaneously report an adverse event through the app, and were also notified of the day 8 survey through the app. Eight days following their vaccination mobile app participants who activated their account received a push notification on their phone to complete their survey. A reminder push notice was sent out on day 11 to participants that had not yet competed the day 8 survey. On November 16, 2020 (mid-way through the recruitment period), additional email reminders in the mobile app arm were implemented on days 2, 4 and 6 to remind participants to register for the app. All participants received a day 8 email directing them to use their CANImmunize account to complete their influenza vaccine survey. Access to the survey link also was available in the email reminder.
The purpose of the research is to evaluate and test the usefulness of the mobile application forDiabetes to improve the self-care of individuals with diabetes type 1. The investigators want to obtain the missing evidence from the field of application operation and their impact on individuals' self-care and study the acceptance of applications among healthcare staff, which plays an essential role in patient education.
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Taiwan. In the United States, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosis and mortality. According to the databases of the Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI), in 2003-2006, a total of 15,805 patients with colorectal surgery were included, and 27.11% were treated with ostomy, while 90.45% were colostomy and 9.55% were ileostomy. The domestic and foreign researches related to enterostomy mostly use cross-sectional research methods. The quality of life, knowledge of self-care and self-care needs of different postoperative methods of colorectal cancer have not been specifically improved for patients with enterostomy. The research on self-care ability and quality of life is for reference. In other countries, enterostomy care has gradually moved from medical institutions to community care, but community nurses generally have no relevant care skills. Advances in mobile technology such as smartphones and other mobile applications have created more opportunities for individuals to receive health-related treatments, anytime, anywhere and anywhere. In the United States, 93% of adult gastroenterology patients have smartphones in medical teaching hospitals, and most of them are interested in using health-related applications. In addition, previous studies have shown the potential benefits and efficacy of mobile devices for self-care patients in diabetes, obesity and cancer. However, there are limited studies on the feasibility and effectiveness of mobile applications for enterostomy care. Researchers want to explore the effectiveness of mobile device intervention on home self-care ability and quality of life of patients with intestinal stoma.
Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are poorly controlled even for patients who frequently visit their physician, leading to large numbers of preventable cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Research from integrated healthcare systems suggests that risk factors can be controlled better and treatment strategies for cardiovascular disease can be markedly improved by using a centralized cardiovascular risk service (CVRS) managed by pharmacists. The investigators are confident that a pharmacist-managed mHealth CVRS can become a strategy in un-integrated healthcare settings to markedly reduce cardiovascular events in the United States.
