Summary

It aims to compare the effects of a professional -led support programme using a mobile application versus telephone advice on clients at risk of coronary heart disease. A multi-centre, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial will be conducted. 168 Clients who are at risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), able to use a smart phone will be randomized into the App Support group (App group) or the Nursing Telephone advice (NTA) group . All participants will receive same nursing educational briefing related to CHD. The App Group will additional receive an app use to support their self care whereas the NTA group will receive nursing telephone advice for 20 minutes monthly.

Health outcomes will be collected at baseline (T0), 1 months (T1), 3 months (T2). Data analysis will be conducted using a Generalized Estimating Equations model to assess differential changes in all outcome variables.

Conditions

  • Coronary Heart Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

App group

In addition to the usual care, the participant will receive a health talk related to CHD care, a CHD app and a briefing from a trained research nurse (A). The app provides features such as structured e-educational contents and supportive features such as knowledge platform and member area.

DEVICE

Nursing telephone advice (NTA) group

All subjects will continue their usual care with prescribed medical treatments and follow-ups if any. By appointment, a trained nurse will provide a health talk related to the CHD care. In addition to the above usual care, three monthly 20-minute telephone follow-ups supplemented by take home leaflet will be provided by a trained research nurse for up to 3 months. Patients can ask about their related health problems, if any. The team has set up a telephone advice guide to support the research nurse in giving phone advice and text messages. .In summary, all two groups will receive from a nurse similar educational content as that related to their CHD and care. The only difference will be the re-enforcement and continual support provided through an app, telephone nursing advice and leaflet.
