Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall objective of this proposal is to implement a smart phone application (app) + population management system to monitor rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity between scheduled physician office visits. The population management system includes: 1) a web-based dashboard that consolidates incoming patient-reported data using pre-programmed algorithms to identify increases in disease activity, and 2) the population manager, a trained individual who monitors the web-based dashboard and connects patients with their healthcare providers (HCPs). The investigators central hypothesis is that the combined smart phone app + population management system will improve patient satisfaction and management of RA disease activity.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mobile Application + Population Manager

This arm of the study will contain half the study population after randomization. The participants in this arm will receive the mobile application with daily questions after the first visit. A population manager will review patient-reported symptoms via a web-base dashboard and contact the subject based on pre-specified guidelines.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mobile Application

Intervention Type OTHER

A mobile health application that asks daily questions about participants' pain, function, and disease activity.

Population Management System

Intervention Type OTHER

Study staff will act as care managers behind a web-based dashboard to monitor participants' responses to the daily questions on the mobile application and connect them with their HCPs.

No Mobile Application

This arm of the study will contain half the study population after randomization. The participants in this arm will not receive the mobile application after the first visit. Although participants will be provided with the contact information of a study staff member, there will be no active contact with the subject unless he/she initiates.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
