About this study

To adapt and refine the BodyGuardian remote health monitoring system to acquire ECG, Heart rate (HR), activity and breathing data, which will be integrated with weight, blood pressure and symptom data, in subjects in an independent living center, with wireless transmission of data to a central data analysis hub.

Read the detailed description

The elderly are facing an increasing prevalence of chronic disease and rapidly escalating healthcare costs threatening independent living. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a growing health epidemic and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and cost. Mayo Clinic and Preventice have developed a non-invasive, minimally obtrusive, interactive remote monitoring platform. It enables on-body monitoring and integration of ECG, heart rate, breathing, and activity, with measures of weight and blood pressure. It is designed as a platform for physician directed patient self-management. This technology may be useful in monitoring CHF patients. Our overall objective is to adapt, refine, test and validate this technology in subjects in an independent living center, with wireless transmission of data to a central data analysis hub.

What participants receive

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

  • BodyGuardian remote health monitoring systemDevice

    The remote health management system connects personal health sensors with secure mobile communication devices. It is also able to give immediate feedback to the user. The solution is a multi-tiered mobile health platform. The front-end includes an adhesive snap-strip body sensor (BodyGuardian) that can measure HR, ECG, respiration rate (RR), and activity which is FDA approved for detection of non-lethal cardiac arrhythmias. It can wirelessly communicate with off-body sensors such as a BP cuff and scale to incorporate BP and weight data based on automated algorithms and can solicit symptoms from the user. It can also be used as an event recorder inputting symptoms and recording simultaneous physiologic data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congestive Heart Failure, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of subjects with successful data transfer at the end of 30 day monitoring period. (time frame: approximately at the end of 30 day monitoring period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jan 2014.
