Remote Monitoring & Telemedicine for Leukemia Care
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests whether technology can improve care for leukemia patients after bone marrow transplants (BMT) or CAR-T therapy. It focuses on using gadgets and telemedicine to manage care at home, aiming for better coordination and timely treatment referrals. Participants will use a wearable device (BioIntelliSense BioButton Rechargeable) and a communication platform (Memora Health two-way patient engagement platform) to stay in touch with their healthcare team. Individuals who have had BMT or CAR-T therapy, live in the Denver area, and have reliable internet and caregiver support at home might be suitable candidates. As an unphased trial, this study offers the chance to explore innovative care solutions that could enhance the post-treatment experience.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that this technology-assisted in-home oncology care program is safe for leukemia patients?
Research has shown that the BioIntelliSense BioButton, a wearable device for remote monitoring, effectively tracks vital signs and detects early health issues. This medical-grade device meets high safety standards. Previous studies found it effective in hospitals, with no major safety problems reported.
Studies suggest that the Memora Health two-way patient engagement platform improves patient interaction through text messages, helping patients stay involved in their care. These studies have not linked its use to any major safety concerns.
The technology-assisted in-home oncology care program aims to enhance home care for patients. Research indicates that this program can improve care coordination and management without introducing new safety risks. Overall, past studies consider these tools and programs safe and well-tolerated.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about using remote monitoring and telemedicine for leukemia care because it offers a unique approach to post-treatment recovery. Unlike traditional care options that require frequent in-person visits, this method leverages technology to monitor patients' health at home, using devices like the BioIntelliSense BioButton and a two-way patient engagement platform. This not only provides continuous health tracking but also enhances patient convenience and reduces the need for hospital trips, potentially leading to quicker interventions and improved outcomes. By personalizing care through real-time data and communication, this approach aims to make leukemia treatment more efficient and patient-centered.
What evidence suggests that this technology-assisted in-home oncology care program is effective for leukemia care?
In this trial, participants will use remote monitoring tools like the BioIntelliSense BioButton to track vital signs and detect early health issues. Research has shown that this wearable device provides crucial information on key health indicators, especially for patients after treatments like bone marrow transplants or CAR-T therapy. Additionally, participants will engage with the Memora Health platform, which connects patients with their care team through text messages, enhancing communication and ensuring timely care. Overall, the technology-assisted home care program under study has shown promise in improving care coordination and patient outcomes by allowing patients to recover at home while being closely monitored.12345
