Brief Summary

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

In this study, patients will be prospectively enrolled for data collection to design prediction models that integrate claims data (inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy), electronic health record data (on clinical, social, and behavioral indicators), and patient-generated activity data. Patients will be randomized to use either a smartphone or a wearable activity tracking device to capture patient-generated health data.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Many hospital readmissions could be prevented if higher risk patients were identified and effective interventions then targeted towards these individuals. However, most existing claims-based predictive models perform poorly and do not provide timely and actionable information. In this study, researchers will prospectively enroll patients for data collection to design prediction models that integrate claims data (inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy), electronic health record data (on clinical, social, and behavioral indicators), and use wearable devices or smartphones to collect patient-generated data (physical activity and sleep patterns). Patients will be randomized to use either a smartphone or a wearable activity tracking device to capture patient-generated health data.

Study Groups

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

Activity Monitoring - Smartphone

Patients in the activity monitoring - smartphone group will be randomly assigned to track their data using a smartphone app (which collects step counts) for 6 months. There will be no intervention for either group, both are being passively monitored.

No interventions assigned to this group

Activity Monitoring - Wearable

Patients in the activity monitoring - wearable device group will be randomly assigned to track their data using a wearable activity tracker (which collects step counts and sleep patterns/duration). There will be no intervention for either group, both are being passively monitored.

No interventions assigned to this group
