Monitoring COPD and asthma: technological developments in the IMCA II Project Enric Duran Municipal Institut of Medical Research (IMIM) Workshop on Health Examination Surveys Luxembourg, 9 -11 April 2008
IMCA IIWorking Packages overview • WP 1: Coordination of the project. • WP 2: Dissemination of the results. • WP 3: Evaluation of the project. • WP 4: Indicators from routine database. • WP 5: Indicators from international research studies. • WP 6: HES Feasibility Study Respiratory Health Survey in the Elderly
HES Feasibility StudyObjectives • To assess the feasibility of using Motohealth system as a tool for performing interviews and measurements at home in the context of large scale respiratory surveys at national and international level. • To evaluate to what extent the Motohealth system can improve response rates to questionnaires, the acceptability of measurements performance and biological samples collection when the measurements are performed at home in comparison to other settings such as a primary health care centre.
MethodologyStudy design: randomized controlled trial (Model A) Model B
MethodologyStudy design and population • Which model will perform each country? • Spain has choosen Model A. • Sweden, Germany, Italy (Pisa &Roma) have to decide which model they choose. • Other countries may considerer to perform the study with funding available: France, Poland, Norway and Finland. • Other countries despite funding difficulties can explore ways of making it possible (national funding or helping them to obtain funding).
MethodologyTechnology and communication systemMOTOHEALTH System
MethodologyTechnology and communication system(MOTOHEALTH) • MOTOHEALTH is a tool which integrates questionnaire design, field work management, measurements performance, data collection and transmission on line with high eficiency and quality reducing costs and time for data analysis.
MethodologyTechnology and communication system(MOTOHEALTH) • Is an integrated mobile monitoring system. • Allows remote monitoring of chronic patients or healthy individuals. • Transmits the data through wireless communication (GPRS) in a secure mode to a central repository server. • Professionals review the data and take decisions accordingly to patient/individual situation.
MethodologyTechnology and communication system(MOTOHEALTH) • The system integrates three main applications: • Backend Application (BEA): this is the application for study administration, importing individuals to the system and the administration of professionals involved in the study. • Survey Application (SVA): this is the application administered by the field worker for the measurements performance and questionnaires completion at individuals home. • Geographic Location Application (GLA): this is the application that facilitates the work of the phone operators for the the individuals scheduling visits according to a geographical area.
