Filter by:Aims of the study: 1. To deliver a scalable wellbeing programme to the local population of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, focusing on movement. 2. To describe the natural history of long-term conditions using digital data from a smartwatch. 3. To identify digital information that is routinely collected by a smart watch that can be used to predict outcomes in patients with long term conditions. 4. To identify factors that determine whether participants engage with and improve in a movement programme. Adult patients who are registered to the Imperial NHS Care Information Exchange (CIE), an NHS patient-facing electronic health record, are eligible to participate in the study. Participants will receive a smart watch for self-monitoring of their movement and wellbeing and be asked to wear the device as much as possible. They will be asked to download a smartphone application called Connected Life, which displays movement and information on heart rate, breathing and oxygen levels to both the participant and the research team (digital data). Participants will receive secure login details for the Connected Life application from the research team, to ensure data privacy. The research team will look at participants' health records, and attempt to identify associations between the digital data and clinical information. This will allow the research team to identify digital data that predicts the onset and natural history of long term conditions, which may potentially allow for earlier diagnosis for future patients. The primary outcome of the study is the identification of trends in movement based on step-count data recorded by the smartwatch.
Vapendavir (VPV) is potent virostatic antiviral agent active against all known enterovirus species. VPV binds to the viral capsid, thereby inhibiting viral attachment to the target cell and, independently, preventing release of viral RNA (ribonucleic acid) into the cell. Alt VPV-101 is meant to investigate vapendavir in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who develop a rhinoviral infection. This is a Phase 1, open-label, unblinded study. The primary objective of this study is to characterize single and multiple dose (plus a loading dose) plasma PK profiles of VPV in healthy participants (Group A) and participants with COPD (Group B). Group A is an open-label, 2-sequence, and up to a 3-period, cross-over study to assess the single-dose PK parameters and safety of VPV. Healthy participants may opt to participate in only the first 2 periods, all 3 periods or BID dosing, but it is preferred that participants complete all 3 periods. Group B is an open-label, multi-dose investigation of VPV PK parameters and safety in participants with COPD. Post-dose, follow up will continue for a minimum of 14 days and a maximum of 30 days, depending on which Group the participant is in and which periods said participant completes. There is a target for up to 24 adult participants comprised of healthy participants and participants with COPD.
Optical Coherence Tomography （OCT）is a novel, non-invasive, high resolution special optical imaging techniques. In airway, Measure airway area and airway wall thickness is the most usage of Endobronchial Optical Coherence Tomography (EB-OCT）. Recently, the new protocol of EB-OCT is used to measure airway compliance, We will establish a new methodology of EB-OCT for measuring airway compliance, which will provide a new means to study respiratory diseases.
This goal of this study is to assess the suitability of the HealthBeacon Injection Care Management System (ICMS) as a Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) device for patients on injectable medications in the home-setting, for the management of respiratory disorders. The HealthBeacon ICMS is composed of the Smart Sharps Bin, Companion App and Care Team support. The Smart Sharps Bin a digitally connected sharps container and is pre-programmed with a patient's injection schedule. It creates a time-stamped record of each used injection deposited into it to calculate a patients' adherence to treatment. Following disposal, the next date of injection and rotating injection site is updated without requiring any extra work on behalf of the patient. The system also proactively supports enhanced compliance through a series of smart dose reminders and intervention calls, to help patients stay on track. Clinical teams can then review patient adherence data remotely via an online platform. The main aims of this study include the following: - To demonstrate the suitability of the HealthBeacon ICMS as an RTM device for respiratory patients through successful billing and reimbursement for physicians - To provide data to support the reimbursement of the HealthBeacon ICMS by Private Payors in the future Participants prescribed injectable medication for the treatment of a diagnosed respiratory condition will be enrolled by the Principal Investigator (PI) and referred to HealthBeacon. Participants will then be provided with access to the HealthBeacon ICMS to remotely track and support their adherence to treatment in the home-setting. Participants will use the system for 6 months and their adherence data during this time will be collected, which the PI and clinical team involved will be able to remotely access and review. At various stages of the study, the applicable RTM codes will be billed for, for each participant. These stages include when providing each participant with access to the HealthBeacon system, including the Smart Sharps Bin, when providing each participant with education on how to use the device, and when the clinical team monitors each individual patients' adherence data collected by the HealthBeacon system on a monthly basis.
This is an exploratory study designed to optimize, standardize, and validate novel breath biomarkers; there are no objective endpoints. The goal of this study is to generate pilot data to be used to generate hypothesis-driven studies.
The Investigators plan a single center study to get preliminary data to answer a number of fundamental questions directly related to management of COPD. The research will determine whether ventilation heterogeneity and distribution of ventilation inform, determine, assist or drive the: 1) status or clinical course in patients with COPD, 2) understanding of factors associated with activities of daily living and quality of life in patients , 3) risk of exacerbation or hospitalization in those with COPD, and 4) predictors of therapeutic pathway or treatment regime.
Reviewing providers' current standard operating procedure on Respiratory Pathogen testing
This is a generic sample collection study for collecting blood, stool, rectal swabs, nasal washes, nasopharyngeal aspirates, nasopharyngeal swabs, throat swabs, nasal swabs, and urine from human sources. Subjects will be recruited from BioFire Diagnostics employees and from the general community. Subjects may be asked about recent or ongoing illness at the time of specimen collection and these symptoms will be recorded and attached to the sample. No other identifying information will be collected and the samples will be kept anonymous.The samples may be used internally or by external sites, such as the clinical study sites, for evaluating and determining performance characteristics of in vitro diagnostic devices.
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the point of care blood analysis obtained from skin puncture blood and conventional blood analysis obtained from venous and arterial blood.
