About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Performance of an e-Health System Comprising Tele-monitoring / Tele-notification and Tele-coaching in Ambulatory Multi-morbid Adult Patients

Prospective, non-randomized, open-label, pilot study conducted in a single group of 30 evaluable patients, i.e. patients completing an approximate 3 month follow-up.

Read the detailed description

The eHealth system developed in the present study is dedicated to multimorbid patients' follow-up. The medical device consists in Telemonitoring, Telenotification and Telecoaching. It aims to both increase patient autonomy, with regard to management of his/her pathologies, and facilitate coordination between health professionals.

By providing patients with tools enabling early detection of clinical worsening combined with an appropriate management, the medium and long-term objectives are to reduce hospitalizations and improve health status and quality of life of these patients at home.

In the first instance, the only objective of the present study is to evaluate the performance and feasibility of implementation of the device. This evaluation is based on a comparison between the telenotifications generated by the software and those calculated from the raw data captured by the software.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing medical device intervention in people with Chronic Diseases, run by Air Liquide Santé International at 6 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: inclusion rate too low \& investigators enable to recruit new patients rapidly). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sensitivity and specificity of the tele-notifications (time frame: through study completion, an average of 11 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02803489, which also lists 28 linked publications.

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 11 Sep 2025.
