MedlyPeds Feasibility Study
Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children
Summary
SickKids and UHN have developed MedlyPeds which is a smart phone application designed to remotely monitor patients with heart disease. This is a feasibility study which will enroll up to 30 patients with different types of heart disease to see which patient types may benefit the most from MedlyPeds if it were to be used for clinical monitoring. The study is gathering feedback about the app from patients, parents and clinicians to confirm how it needs to be modified to better serve the purpose in a future trial.

MedlyPeds App
The mobile phone-based telemonitoring system (MedlyPeds) will enable cardiac patients to monitor their weight, blood pressure, and heart rate, using wireless home medical devices. In addition, they will answer questions about their symptoms and wellness using their mobile phone. The device measurements will be automatically and wirelessly transmitted to the mobile phone and then to a data server. Automated and individualized self-care messages, developed with the assistance of healthcare providers, will subsequently be sent to the patient based on the readings and reported symptoms.
