Scripps Wired for Health Monitoring Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating DM Pgm + device and Control for Diabetes and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 182 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
People with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and cardiac (heart) arrhythmias tend to go to the doctor more often and have more tests done than those without those diseases. This can lead to increasing costs of healthcare and extra visits to doctors and healthcare facilities. There are now medical devices that can be used at home to monitor blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rhythms as well as other measurements. There have been some studies which show that when people take their own health readings, they are better able to control their disease, stay healthier and go to the doctor less often. In order to participate in the study participants will have been diagnosed with 1 or more of the following: Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiac Arrhythmias. This study is designed to test those devices and see if they can help participants stay healthier through the recording and tracking of health measurements. Investigators will also be testing how easy it is to use these devices and whether or how easy it is to fit them in their daily schedule. Participants will be given an iPhone for use during the study and their recordings will be stored and displayed on the phone.

Interventions
Disease management program plus a device corresponding to an individual's disease(s): iBGStar - iPhone enabled capillary blood glucose meter. Subjects test blood glucose up to 4 times per day, every day. Withings BP monitor - iPhone enabled home blood pressure monitor. Subjects test their blood pressure 2 times per day, up to 3 days per week. iPhone enabled Alive Cor ECG monitor. Participants take an ECG reading only when symptomatic.
All study participants, including participants randomized to the control arm, were enrolled in the HealthComp disease management program, which involved outreach by HealthComp nursing staff for purposes of relaying medical education and wellness information with regard to disease prevention and chronic disease management.
