Trial summary

Hypertension and diabetes are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Although these two conditions can be detected much early in life and are amenable to interventions at primary health care level, the health system in India fails to provide adequate interventions at primary health care level which translates… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: m-Power Heart Project

Hypertension and diabetes are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Although these two conditions can be detected much early in life and are amenable to interventions at primary health care level, the health system in India fails to provide adequate interventions at primary health care level which translates to huge burden of undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes in the community. This study aims to design a feasible and sustainable evidence-based, decision support-enabled, health care delivery model for the management of hypertension and diabetes in the primary health care facilities of Himachal Pradesh. The study will be conducted at the 5 Community Health Centers (CHCs) and District Hospital of Solan District, Himachal Pradesh using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The design and development of the model will be carried out in the initial six months followed by piloting the services at the CHCs and District Hospital. The impact of the model on quality of care will be assessed in a pre-post design measuring changes in both clinical and process indicators.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Evidence based, DSS enabled, health care delivery modelOther

    The study focus on preliminary work before a definitive randomised controlled trial. In this phase, we are developing an intervention for the evidence based management of hypertension and diabetes at primary care setting in India.

    The components of the interventions that we are developing are:

    1. A structured training of the health care staff for identifying people at risk of developing diabetes or hypertension
    2. Treating patients as per a standard clinical guidelines
    3. Giving health education to patients on lifestyle changes for better self-care
    4. Optimizing the care pathways at the health facilities to enable better delivery of the intervention and
    5. Development and implementation of a smartphone based decision support system (DSS) with inbuilt diagnostic and treatment algorithm

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in the proportion of people with hypertension and/or diabetes receiving evidence based clinical management.

    Measured: 30 months

  2. Change in compliance to therapy and follow-up rate among people with hypertension and/or diabetes.

    Measured: 30 months
