Nurse-assisted Intervention "eHealth@ Hospital -2-home"
Sponsor: University of Stavanger
Summary
A randomized controlled trial with non-communicable disease patients from two medical hospitals in Norway will be recruited prior to hospital discharge. The intervention group will participate in a 42-day nurse-assisted eHealth intervention "eHealth@ Hospital-2-Home". The intervention includes monitoring the patient's vital signs, self-reports of symptoms, health and well-being, communication between the patients and a Nurse Navigator in the hospital, and access to information about illness and health resources.

Interventions
eHealth@Hospital-2-Home
At hospital discharge, the intervention group will receive a wireless, portable personal computer system (i.e., IPAD) that includes the eHealth application MyDignio supplied by a certified m-Health company. MyDignio app is linked to monitoring devices by Bluetooth for each patient to daily and weekly measure clinical measures such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and weight, and self-reported symptoms and well-being, and daily report clinical measurements to the Nurse Navigators employed in the two hospitals. The patients will receive training from the nurses on how to log on and use the MyDignio app and the monitoring devices. Telephone contact details including information about how to access technical support will be provided to each study participant shortly following discharge.
