Mobile Health Intervention for Rural Atrial Fibrillation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Relational agent/AliveCor Kardia - Intervention and Usual Care for Atrial Fibrillation and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 270 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent, morbid condition. Anticoagulation to prevent thromboembolic strokes is a foremost priority in AF but adherence is challenging for patients and lapses in anticoagulation are common. Chronic disease self-management (CDSM) is a recognized program to enhance self-efficacy and improve adherence, quality of life, and patient-centered health outcomes. Rural patients with AF experience increased vulnerability to adverse outcomes due to geographic and social isolation, poor health care access, and limited health literacy. This study uses an innovative, scalable CDSM intervention to improve anticoagulation adherence in rural patients with AF.
