Filter by:The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the world is currently around 9.3% of adults aged between 20 and 79 years, which corresponds to 463 million people living with DM, and about 80% of these people are found in developing countries. In Brazil, fourth in the number of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) in the world, the prevalence of DM is around 12%, with a significant increase in the last three decades. Non-adherence to DM treatment is known as a problem in the scenario and internationally, as it impairs the physiological response to the disease, increasing the direct and indirect cost of treatment. Pharmaceutical care is a practice model characterized by the provision of pharmaceutical services that optimize treatment, improve the process of medicines used, and aim at their best use. With the calamity situation arising from the COVID-19 pandemic created in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the Pharmaceutical Telecare service was implemented. Dapagliflozin was recently incorporated into the Brazilian public system for the treatment of type 2 DM. Considering that there are no studies in Brazil to date on the use, treatment adherence, and problems related to pharmacotherapy (PRM) associated with dapagliflozin, and also considering that the guidance and monitoring of patients remotely have become more frequent and necessary, the purpose of this protocol is to describe a clinical trial that will evaluate the impact of a pharmaceutical telecare service in aspects related to treatment adherence, disease control, and costs, offered to people with DM2 using dapagliflozin. The hypothesis that will be tested is that Pharmaceutical Telecare can be as effective as standard care for type 2 diabetes and assess the associated costs related to teleconsultation in public health settings.
Assessment of the proportion of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes with access to remote monitoring
This study will be a cluster randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of telemedicine in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU), through daily tele-rounds with a board certified physician and educational activities, in improving clinical-assistance indicators, as well as reducing the length of stay in the PICU.
Caducy is a new medical device that is able to estimate physiological number such as heart rate and SpO2 via laptop or computer camera. The goal of this study is to evaluate the concordance of Caducy system in reference to gold standard which is a heart rate monitor and an oximeter pod linked to a station of acquisition regardless the human variability. The Caducy system measurement via camera is made by filming the visage of the patient during 1 minute.
This randomised controlled trial will provide definitive answers to whether a 3D telemedicine system makes a remote consultation more similar to meeting a doctor face-to-face, than a 2D Telemedicine consultation. This will be measured using a "Presence" scale - which is a measure of the realism or immersion of the system - and is of key importance as preliminary data from the research team's feedback studies found that realism of a clinical consultation correlates strongly with patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction is seen by many healthcare systems as primary evidence of efficacy of treatment and as a strong determinant of overall health outcomes. Further outcome measures in this trial will assess patient satisfaction, usability, and mental effort.
The aim of this investigation is to conduct an implementation research to facilitate and evaluate the implementation of VCT((Videoconsult through telemedicine) among HIV HCP(healthcare providers) and PLWH(people living with HIV)
Telemedicine will be used as standard practice during the Covid Pandemic, in order to reduce clinician exposure to patients and potential high viral load, and reduce patient footfall in a hospital caring for Covid patients. The 3D telemedicine uses multiple cameras in the clinic room which can reconstruct an image in 3 dimensions. This may give more information about a patient's condition, particularly in more visual specialties such as Plastic Surgery. The systems have hospital approval to be used for telemedicine, all equipment is CE marked. There are no data regarding the use of 3D telemedicine, but similar studies have been performed in many fields including orthopaedic surgery using 2D telemedicine (Buvik 2016). This study aims to provide non-clinical validations of the 3D telemedicine for usability, presence, satisfaction and reliability, using healthy volunteers only.
This study will provide exercise videos and live consultation sessions for adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy. We will recruit 20 participants with 10-18 years old and will be randomized into an experimental or control group. The experimental group will receive exercises videos 2 times a week and one time live consultation session for 8 weeks. The Control group will receive exercise videos 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Both groups will use HIPAA compliant telehealth provider (Physitrack website/ app).
Abstract Background: Exchange transfusion is a highly complex procedure that requires high levels of expertise. Paediatricians trainees do not have adequate training because opportunities to perform this procedure in practice are scarce. This protocol seeks to compare two educational interventions for exchange transfusions that allow the students to develop competencies to perform the technique in an appropriate and safe way. Methods/design: A randomized parallel single-blind clinical trial with allocation by simple randomization to the educational intervention (simulation or a digital didactic environment). Students from the paediatric specialization who volunteer to participate will be included. A practical evaluation of the procedure will be performed through a simulated scenario using a standardized clinical case. The main outcome is defined as the result of evaluation using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination; superior performance will be defined when the percentage is greater than or equal to 85%, and nonsuperior performance will be defined when the result is less than 84%. The chi-square independence test or the Fisher exact test will be used to evaluate the effect of the interventions. Multivariate analysis will be performed using a non-conditional logistic regression model. Stata 14 ® software will be used. Discussion: Exchange transfusion is a procedure that requires expertise to achieve adequate outcomes. The inclusion of new educational strategies, such as simulation and digital didactic environments, is seen as a training option that can improve performance in clinical skills, reduce adverse events and increase the level of trust.
