PILOT: Home Telemonitoring for Self-Management Education of Patients With Lung Ca
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating HomMed Telemonitor for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn more about using a home machine "Telemonitor" to find problems people with lung cancer may have after being discharged from the hospital and help them manage problems by contacting their healthcare provider.The study hypothesis is that patients with lung CA using short-term (14 days)home telemonitors, educated/coached by nurses on telemonitor data risks/implications for the first two weeks after hospital discharge, will be able to self-report their signs/ symptoms to the clinician resulting in decreased use of costly health care resources over 60 days.
