  1. SCIENTIFIC RETREAT ON TELEMEDICINE 11/19/2010 Potential Applications for Telemedicine in Research Jihad Obeid MD (Associate Professor & CoEE Endowed Chair in Biomedical informatics, Associate Program Director, SCTR Institute Biomedical informatics, MUSC) Iain Sanderson MD (Professor & CoEE Endowed Chair in Biomedical informatics & Program Director, SCTR Institute Biomedical informatics, MUSC)

  2. Benefits of a Telemedicine Research Portal • Increase the geographical reach of clinical investigators • Reduce costs of recruitment • Increase number of participants • Reduce travel burden for participants (most common barrier according to one study) • Allow individuals unable to travel (for medical or economic reasons) the opportunity to participate in research • Enhance safety by increased monitoring

  3. Reducing Travel Burden For Participants decreased willingness to participate increased willingness to participate A positive value means the factor is associated with increased willingness to participate in research and a negative value means the factor is associated with a decreased willingness toparticipate.

  4. Comprehensive Telemedicine Research Portal Components • Research Participant Recruitment Tools • Conducting Research Remotely • Remote Patient Monitoring • Tools that Allow Remote Healthcare Providers to be Partners in Research • Integration with Existing Informatics Tools/Databases RPMS

  5. 1. Research Participant Recruitment Tools • Education about trials • Live communication with research coordinator (Q&A)

  6. (1. cont’d) Portal Screen: Schedule a Session with Research Coordinator+ Informative Material about Study

  7. (1. cont’d) Portal Screen: Live session with Research Coordinator

  8. 2. Conducting Research Remotely • Getting consents • Checking eligibility/screening • Conducting surveys/questionnaires • Data collection RPMS + REDCap Survey

  9. (2. cont’d) Portal Screen: Consent Forms on a Tablet or Touch-screen RPMS

  10. 3. Remote Patient Monitoring • Adverse events reporting • Monitoring @ home by participants (e.g. BP, glucose) • Real time monitoring devices

  11. 4. Tools that Allow Remote Healthcare Providers to be Partners in Research • Discovery of clinical trials/studies • Education • Communication (with live audio/video) • Data entry ( )

  12. (4. cont’d) Discovery of Clinical Studies

  13. (4. cont’d) Portal Screen: Live session with Research Coordinator + Informative Material about Study + Data Entry Back to Data Entry

  14. 5. Use Existing Informatics Infrastructure RPMS (Funded by GO Grant # RC2LM010796) SCIPR PORTAL (SC Integrate platform for research)
