SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 days post hospital discharge

Population: 200 patients enrolled in the Corrie group as compared to data from the historical comparison group as well as model estimates obtained from the literature for the standard of care comparison. Model estimates from the literature were used to supplement information when data was not available from the historical comparison group. The addition of the model estimates from the literature ensured the testing of representative, real-world values.

We estimated typical costs associated with readmissions or death of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients discharged with standard practices using 2014 US hospital costs from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The hospital cost (in US dollars) for unplanned 30-day readmission is presented for the Corrie Digital Health Platform Group and the Historical Comparison Group. The reported number is the estimated cost per readmission per participant since the exact cost of the readmission for each patient who was readmitted within 30-days wasn't available. No measure of central tendency is available.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 days post hospital discharge

Population: 89 participants completed all the items on the survey, except for one where one person did not fill out the item/question, resulting in 88 being analyzed for that item.

Among participants in the Corrie Digital Health group, a nine-item five-point Likert scale for assessing in-hospital care satisfaction 3 days post-discharge is used with scoring from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree", with higher scores meaning participants were more satisfied with the care received. A total score of these nine items is calculated with possible total scores ranging from 9 to 45.

Population: 102 participants completed the survey at 30 days post-discharge

Among participants in the Corrie Digital Health group, a 29-item five-point Likert scale for assessing the subjective experience of user engagement with Corrie 30 days post discharge is used with scoring ranging from 1 to 5 and higher scores reflecting higher perceived user engagement. The total subjective user engagement score was calculated by diving the sum of all items by 29, resulting in a range of potential total scores from 1 to 5.

Timeframe: Throughout the study period for app usage up to 30 days post-discharge from the hospital

Population: Following deployment of Corrie backend capabilities (the Corrie backend was not set up to capture application interactions for the first 34 participants enrolled), 83% (138/166) of Corrie users had captured application interactions (i.e. used the Corrie platform at least once over the 30-day study and subsequently connected to WiFi or cellular data to connect with the backend).

The total number of app interactions is a behavioral manifestation of user engagement and is monitored through app usage data. The total number of app interactions consisted of: number of BP, heart rate,weight, mood, and step count recordings; number of medications tracked; and number of educational articles and videos viewed over the study period.

Among participants in the Corrie Digital Health group, the 10-item five-point Likert scale for assessing patient activation 3 and 30 days post-discharge is used with scoring ranging from 1 to 5 and higher scores indicating the patient possesses the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence needed for self-care. The total score reference range is from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate lower patient activation.

Among participants in the Corrie Digital Health group, the eight-item four-point Likert scale for assessing cardiac medication adherence 30 days post-discharge is used with scoring ranging from 1 to 4 and lower scores indicating better adherence. Total possible scores could range from 8 to 32 with lower scores indicating better adherence. The total cardiac medication adherence score was dichotomized into completely cardiac medication adherent and near completely cardiac medication adherent, based on the median score.

Population: 135 patients who had app interaction data specific to cardiovascular disease (CVD) medications (beta-blocker, anti-platelet, statin) from admission through 30 days post-discharge.

Cardiac medication adherence (beta-blockers, anti-platelets, statins) is measured from the smartphone app usage data as the percentage of cardiac medications marked as "taken".

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 days post hospital discharge

Population: 908 patients were enrolled at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center across both the Corrie intervention group (n=174) and historical comparison group (n=734). 80 of the patients had an emergency department visit within 30-days of discharge that resulted in a readmission and were excluded from this analysis. Hence, a total of 828 participants were included in the analysis across the Corrie intervention group (n=164) and the historical comparison group (n=664).

Number of participants who had Emergency department visits (at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center) within 30-days post hospital discharge, that did not result in readmission, in the Corrie Digital Health Group as compared to the Historical Standard of Care Comparison group, collected from hospital administrative databases.

Population: 104 participants completed this survey question at 30 days post-discharge.

Among participants in the Corrie Digital Health group, the investigators are querying participants in the surveys sent out 30 days post-discharge as to whether participants attended an appointment with a primary care provider, cardiologist, and/or cardiac rehab. A point is given to each appointment attended with scores raging from 0 to 3.

Population: Total of 13 participants in the Corrie group who were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Unable to obtain reason for readmission from the hospital administrative data sets. Thus, data on whether 30-day readmissions were due to recurrent myocardial infarction were not available for the historical comparison group. Chart review, to obtain this reason for readmission as done with the Corrie group, was not possible for the historical comparison group.

Number of readmitted participants who had Recurrent myocardial infarctions in the Corrie Digital Health Group. Participants who had an all-cause 30-day readmission in the Corrie group, as identified by hospital administrative datasets, underwent further chart review to determine if the cause of readmission was a recurrent myocardial infarction.

All-cause mortality data could not be obtained from hospital administrative databases. It was reported to the study team by the participant's family member.
