Precision Feedback for Improving Engagement
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests whether targeted emails with specific feedback can increase urologists' use of a dashboard that tracks a quality measure related to stent use in kidney procedures. The goal is to determine if this "precision feedback" (known as Precision Feedback Push) engages doctors more effectively than general feedback. The study includes different groups, each receiving feedback and using the dashboard for varying time frames. Urologists who frequently perform certain kidney procedures may be well-suited for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative research that could improve medical practices.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether participants must stop taking their current medications.
What prior data suggests that this method is safe for improving provider engagement?
Research has shown that precision feedback, which provides personalized information to motivate individuals, is a new method. However, solid evidence about its safety remains limited because it primarily involves sending specific information rather than administering physical treatment. Consequently, the risks are much lower compared to traditional medical treatments. The trial's "Not Applicable" label for clinical phases indicates a focus on behavior change rather than testing a new drug or device. Therefore, overall safety concerns are low, and it is well-tolerated, as it involves no direct physical or medical risks to participants.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Precision Feedback Push because it aims to enhance patient engagement through personalized feedback, which is a departure from traditional approaches that often use a one-size-fits-all method. This technique provides tailored feedback based on individual patient data, potentially leading to better adherence and outcomes. By customizing the engagement process, it addresses the unique needs and behaviors of each patient, offering a more dynamic and responsive way to support health management. This could revolutionize how we think about patient interaction and adherence, making care more effective and personalized.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?
Research has shown that push notifications can greatly increase app usage. One study found that 60% of users interacted more with apps after receiving notifications. Timely, personalized messages can lead to more regular use. In schools and workplaces, precise feedback has boosted engagement by offering useful insights and actions. This trial will test the effectiveness of Precision Feedback Push, where participants receive dashboards with varying durations of precision feedback. These findings support the idea that specific, targeted feedback can effectively enhance both the frequency and depth of platform engagement.678910
