Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: A patient's eligibility will first be determined by the implanting physician who will be performing the catheter-based atrial fibrillation ablation or bariatric surgical procedure (either sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass). The criterion used will simply be the cardiac electrophysiologist stating that the patient is being seen pre-procedurally for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation or the bariatric surgeon stating that the patient is being seen pre-operatively for sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.

Who may be able to join

  • Age >18
  • English-speaking
  • Planned for either a bariatric surgical procedure (either sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass) or catheter-based atrial fibrillation ablation
  • Participant is willing and able to read and sign consent and participate in study
  • Participant has an email account and a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) able to download the necessary applications
  • Participant is willing to use the mobile health platform and syncable devices (e.g. Fitbit Charge 2)
  • Attending bariatric surgeon or electrophysiologist (as appropriate) concurs that patient is a candidate for enrollment

Who cannot join

  • Healthy patients
  • Patients who refuse participation

About this study

This is a study to pilot the feasibility of using a novel patient-led, smartphone-based mobile health platform (Hugo) for real-world surveillance of outcomes of patients after they undergo a bariatric surgical procedure (either sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass) and catheter-based atrial fibrillation ablation

Read the detailed description

The plan is to pilot test a novel patient-led, smartphone-based mobile health platform (called Hugo) for real-world surveillance of outcomes in 60 total patients after medical device use. Research associates will be recruiting patients before they undergo a bariatric surgical procedure (either sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass) and catheter-based atrial fibrillation ablation. Patients will then be queried about specific symptoms related to their procedure. Patients will also be given syncable devices to use that will provide additional insights into their health and health outcomes. This pilot project will engage patients to report outcomes while also synchronizing data from their electronic health records and pharmacy accounts to ascertain the ability of emerging mobile health technologies to aid in post-marketing surveillance.

What participants receive

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

  • A mobile health platformDevice

    Patients pilot testing the smartphone based, mobile health platform called HUGO. Patients will also be given syncable devices to use that will provide additional insights into their health and health outcomes.Patients will be queried about specific symptoms related to their procedure at enrollment, one week post-procedure, at 4 weeks and again at 8 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Disease-Specific PROMs Completed

    Disease-specific PROMs were collected using email notification to all patients over the course of the study. Disease-specific PROMs were emailed to patients at enrollment (preprocedure) and 1, 4, and 8 weeks post-procedure and were tailored to patients depending on the procedure they received. For each PROM, the date and time that it was emailed to patients, the time it was initiated, and the time at which the final response was received were all available.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Number of Post-Procedure PROMs Completed

    Post-procedure PROMs were collected using email notification to all patients over the course of the study. Post-procedure PROMs were emailed to patients twice weekly for a total of 5 weeks post-procedure. Bariatric surgery patients were asked two questions: (1) if they had pain (yes/no) and, if yes, to rate their pain on a scale of 1-10 and (2) if they had an appetite (yes/no) and, if yes, to rate their appetite on a scale of 1-10. Atrial fibrillation ablation patients were asked about pain, as well as whether they had palpitations and, if yes, to rate both symptoms on a scale of 1-10. For each PROM, the date and time that it was emailed to patients, the time it was initiated, and the time at which the final response was received were all available.

    Measured: 5 weeks

  3. Device Syncs

    Device syncs are operationally defined as the # of patients who synced their device at all required time points over the 8-week post-procedure period.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Electronic Health Record Data Validation

    For EHR data, we validated the following components over 8 weeks follow-up: encounter date, encounter type, and encounter primary diagnosis. Specifically, we determined if encounters aggregated by the patient-centered health data sharing platform, Hugo, matched encounters listed in each patient's EHR.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrectomy and Atrial Fibrillation, run by Yale University at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 Disease-Specific PROMs Completed (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03436082, which also lists 2 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 19 Mar 2021.
