An Evaluation of Remote Care (questionnaire+hybrid) in Patients Who Are Post-lung Transplant
Sponsor: University of Manchester
Summary
Lung transplantation is used to treat patients with lung damage when there is no other treatment option. Patients require close monitoring following their transplant, with hospital check-ups every 3-4 months usually lasting all day. Although check-ups often result in no change to patient management they are essential as patients have better outcomes if complications are detected quickly. The aim is to explore whether remote monitoring via an app (patientMpower) ± questionnaire (specifically designed to assess post-transplant patients' health), linked to a device to measure lung function, could replace some check-ups for lung transplant patients. Patients will be randomised to receive either normal care or remote monitoring (i.e. their symptoms will be evaluated using home spirometry combined with a questionnaire). 100 lung transplant recipients will be enrolled with 50 patients being assigned to either group. Health outcomes and costs of care between the two groups will be compared

Conditions
Interventions
Hybrid care arm
Patients will be evaluated at 3 months via a remote review. This will review the patients-recorded spirometry and a questionnaire developed for this study which asses the patients' symptom burden and medication adherence. All patients participating in the study will be offered remote monitoring (patient facing app+ patient recorded home spirometry).
Standard of care arm
Patients will be reviewed in clinic at 3 months per the standard of care. All patients participating in the study will be offered remote monitoring (patient facing app+ patient recorded home spirometry).
