A Pilot Trial of the Feasibility of a Patient-Centered Mobile Health Self-Management Support Tool for Healthy Behaviors (SMART-HABITS) in Chronic Kidney Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Texting and mHealth app for Renal Insufficiency, Chronic and Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The pilot cross-over study aims to examine the feasibility of a smartphone-based self-management supportive intervention, Supporting Self-Management of Healthy Behaviors (SMART-HABITS) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension. SMART-HABITS is a web-based application accessible on any device that has Internet access and utilizes a mobile health research platform (Way to Health) that links to wearable sensor smartphone applications such as FitBit and Omron Connect, to provide reminders, tailored feedback, and provide access to educational resources, and to community resources. The cross-over design is used to test preferences of using text message or a smartphone app to communicate blood pressure readings.

Interventions
The Way to Health platform is an automated information technology platform that integrates wireless devices, clinical trial randomization and enrollment processes, messaging (text, e-mail, voice), self-administered surveys, and secure data capture for research purposes. Way to Health has been used successfully in prior behavior intervention studies.
Omron Connect app available on a participant's smartphone connects to the participant's home Omron blood pressure monitor via bluetooth technology. The Omron Connect app, which stores the blood pressure readings and provides reminders to the participant via push notifications also communicates with the Way to Health research platform via Internet connection.
