Using Health Information Technology (HIT) to Improve Ambulatory Chronic Disease Care: Smart Device Substudy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension, Diabetes

In brief

In-home health monitoring devices have the potential to increase the speed and ease of modifying treatment for ambulatory patients living with chronic conditions. This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of remote data transmission from in-home devices (blood glucose meter/blood pressure machine) to the clinic on treatment outcomes in patients with diabetes who have out of range blood glucose (BG) or systolic blood pressure (BP) measurements. We test whether the short-term targeted use of in-home monitoring devices facilitates management for providers and improves outcome measures for patients.
