Developing a Mobile Application for the Care of Children With Gastrostomy and The Effect of the Application on Gastrostomy

Start date: July 28, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Parents of children with gastrostomy have problems with the selection and preparation of nutritional products and catheter care during home care. Parents express that they want to receive practical training in the process of home care of the child with gastrostomy, they want to communicate more with the team and they need continuous monitoring to solve the problems encountered effectively. In this context, it is aimed to establish an appropriate training programme for the care of children with gastrostomy, to provide counselling and follow-up. Digital health technologies are divided into different sub-branches. Mobile health applications constitute one of these structures. Mobile health applications are used in elective surgical interventions in pediatric surgery (tonsillectomy, hernia repair, circumcision, etc.) and in the home care process after organ transplantation. In pediatric surgery, many mobile health applications have been developed to support pain management, symptom monitoring, medication adherence, support care processes, postoperative follow-up and self-management processes. In mobile health applications, no mobile application has been found for the use of parents of children with gastrostomy. In Turkey, there is no known nursing study for the use of parents of children with gastrostomy. The aim of this study is to develop a mobile application for the care of children with gastrostomy and to determine the effect of the application on gastrostomy complications, care burden of parents, self-efficacy and anxiety level.

Feasibility, Validation and Application of Digital Tools for the Follow-up of Neuromuscular Patient Mobility in Daily Living

DT4RD
Start date: June 29, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The low prevalence of rare diseases hinders the design of clinical studies with sufficient statistical power to demonstrate the efficacy of new drugs. This can only be achieved by setting up international multicentre studies, which is challenging due to a lack of objective, universal outcome measures that generate high-quality, reproducible data. One of the hurdles in attaining universal outcome measures for clinical trials is the difficulty to capture and distinguish ambulatory from non-ambulatory, autonomous and assistive or involuntary movements. This makes a trial assessing the ambulatory phase very challenging at this moment. Excluding many participants from trials and many patients from access to medication. Integration and validation of the technology in trials, research and patients' lives is essential in overcoming this hurdle. For example, in dystrophinopathies separate outcome measures exist for ambulant and non-ambulant participants, but the relation between these outcome measures or a transitional outcome measure/end point is largely missing. Following an exhaustive literature review, several tools have been selected to remotely follow various symptoms of neuromuscular patients including weakness, pain, fatigue, cognitive defects, motor impairments (including loss of dexterity, ataxia...), metabolic, respiratory and cardiac troubles, contractures, tremor, falls, hypo or hypersomnia... The toolbox includes common measures for all patients but may include additional measures specific to the patient's symptoms (hence in turn to the patients' disease). The measurements are designed to not be invasive, intrusive or burdensome for the patient. DT4RD is going to leverage state-of-the art technology, clinical rating scales and psychometric/data analysis to deliver fit for purpose remote clinical assessments of mobility to ensure maximum patient benefit, specifically: - Compare face to face clinical data collected in hospital with Patient Generated Data recorded remotely - Examine how sensors can enhance measurement potentially at home and during clinical visits - Promote a clear focus on user centered design and the integration of technology - Use reliability and validity analyses to equate any common measures (those with the same or a similar construct) - Demonstrate a proof-of-concept model into which different measures can be interchangeable

NCT ID: NCT05723289 Recruiting - Scoliosis Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Feasibility of Remote Monitoring of Mechanical In-exsufflation Devices in Paralytic and Neuromuscular Patients Treated at Home.

TELE-INEX
Start date: June 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The implementation of an mechanical in-exsufflator device (MI-E) requires specific expertise because it is a complex device that requires fine-tuning of the settings according to different clinical situations to optimize its effectiveness. Generally, it is performed by experienced physiotherapists in neuromuscular disease reference centers or directly at home via medical-technical home care providers. Treatment data is recorded by the machine at each MI-E session, which may be daily or less frequent, depending on the patient's dependency. All of this information can be accessed by manually downloading the data from the SD card that comes with each MI-E machine. Therefore, the retrieval of this information systematically requires the visit of staff to the patient's home. To date, compliance with these devices is not regularly measured since there is no means of telecommunication allowing remote monitoring of these therapies, whereas technological development in the field of remote monitoring has allowed remote monitoring of patients with sleep apnea syndrome treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and, more recently, of some patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency treated with invasive ventilation (NIV). These developments are transforming on the one hand the follow-up of patients under NIV at home by the medical and paramedical teams and on the other hand the financial coverage by the health insurance organizations (ETAPES programs). Within the framework of NIV therapy, we think that remote monitoring of the quality of the sessions, i.e. measurement of peak expiratory flow, insufflated volumes, frequency and duration of the sessions, could facilitate and improve the follow-up of these patients for the medical-technical providers, the expert physiotherapists and the doctors of the reference centers. It is still too early to assume the extent to which data from remote monitoring of MI-E devices would improve patient follow-up. Nevertheless, given the increasing number of devices installed over the past several years, it is likely that the issue of telemonitoring will become a central issue. Thus, in this observational trial, we propose to evaluate the feasibility of a simple system of remote monitoring of MI-E devices in non-therapy-naive patients, with the objective of assessing the barriers and limitations of remote monitoring in this population. Primary aim is to evaluate the feasibility of remote monitoring of data from the MI-E device used in the patient's home in neuromuscular diseases. Patients will be identified by the investigators using the AGIR à dom software package (medical-technical follow-up file). If the patient accepts, the information and no-objection form will be sent to them electronically or by mail following this call, and at least 3 days before their scheduled appointment. During the patient's usual follow-up visit, if the patient does not object to participating in the study, AGIR staff in dom will install the device. This visit will take place in the patient's home. During this visit, a SanDisk (SD) Eye-Fi SDHC 4GB + WiFi Class4 memory card will be inserted into the port provided, in place of the memory card already present in the MI-E device. Then a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B will be placed in the room where the MI-E device is normally used by the patient, and connected to a power source (accessible electrical outlet in the room). The wifi SD card, which uses the device's power supply, will communicate with the Raspberry Pi via the wifi network and upload the recorded data each time the MI-E device is used. After 90 days, a routine recovery visit will be scheduled. AGIR à dom staff will replace the wifi SD card installed during the D0 visit with the standard SD card originally provided with the MI-E device. The data locally on the SD Wifi card will then be downloaded for analysis and comparison with the data being uploaded
