About this study

Official title: Barriers and Facilitators of Key Stakeholders in Implementing Remote Monitoring Technologies: a Mixed-methods Analysis

Advancements in digital technologies alongside the global pandemic of COVID-19 have accelerated the adoption of novel healthcare pathways worldwide, with healthcare delivery transitioning beyond the traditional face-to-face model. Telemedicine has gained long over- due exposure during a complicated crisis; as the number of cases continue to grow with second waves predicted, digital modalities have become critical in moderating exposure risk to healthcare staff, reducing community spread, and delivering quality healthcare remotely for exposed or infected individuals.

Remote monitoring solutions are being established internationally to allow individuals to continue living at home rather than in expensive hospital facilities using non-invasive digital technologies (such as wearable sensors) to collect health data, support health provider assessment and clinical decision making.

With the advances in technology miniaturisation, sensors have become increasingly portable, unobtrusive, lightweight, and waterproof, offering an emerging solution to continuous remote monitoring of vital signs. It is predicated that continuous monitoring allows for early recognition of clinical deterioration, and through digital alerting, offers an opportunity for earlier clinical intervention, improving patient care and patient outcomes.

Within the United Kingdom (UK), widespread digital transformations are facilitated by NHS digital, a non-departmental public body created by statute, delivering large health informatics programmes. As such, this study aims to investigate key stakeholder perspectives on an organisational level of implementing remote monitoring solutions, given the pandemic, in the National Health Service (NHS), identifying factors that could affect successful execution and adoption.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Apr 2024. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Validated TAM (technology acceptance model) questionnaire (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 NCT05321004, 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 10 Apr 2024.
