Summary

The chronic disease burden is increasing worldwide leading to a rise in the demand for primary healthcare and a shortage of primary care physicians. Addressing this shortage entails a multi-prong approach with innovations in care delivery, greater use of healthcare technology, and more efficient use of all healthcare providers on the care team.

We previously developed an interactive self-service healthcare kiosk (Self-empowering and enabling kiosk - SEEK® MyHealthKiosk) for the management of patients with stable chronic disease in the primary care setting. A feasibility study using SEEK showed high levels of acceptance and satisfaction from patients and healthcare providers.

The aim of this follow-up study is to evaluate the health outcomes of patients with stable chronic disease who are on kiosk management compared to patients who are on routine management by nurse clinicians. We hypothesize that patients who are managed by the kiosk continue to maintain good disease control that are comparable to patients who are managed by a nurse clinician.

DEVICE

Kiosk intervention group

SEEK automates the management of patients with stable well-controlled chronic disease. SEEK has the following capabilities: * Collects patient information using patient-specific identification * Prompts the user for answers to screening questions for acute conditions * Measures relevant physiological parameters: blood pressure, height, weight; and calculates body mass index * Triages patients based on responses to screening questions, physiological parameters and blood test results * Provides recommendations to the patient on the care plan, self management and lifestyle choices
