Summary

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.

Home monitoring

The subject will take their blood pressure or glucose measurements 1-4 times per day, depending on patient condition. They will upload these measurements using the device to a secure website at least every other day. Data will be reviewed at least 2 times per week Monday through Friday by the clinic nursing staff. Data indicating problems, e.g., critical out of range values, will be communicated to the patient's primary care physician after review by the nurse. The physician will then determine what is needed for follow up action based on the patient's condition and data (e.g., telephone call to patient home, scheduling a clinic appointment, etc).
