Feasibility of a smartphone app to monitor patient reported outcomes in multiple sclerosis: The haMSter interventional trial.

Monitoring of patient outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS) is fundamental for individualized treatment decisions. So far, these decisions have been motivated by conventional outcomes, i.e., relapses or clinical disability supported by radiological disease activity. Complementing this concept, patient reported outcomes (PROs) assess individual health-related quality of life, among other constructs. Their inclusion in clinical routine, however, has been challenging as assessing them requires resources of time and personnel. This interventional feasibility study investigated the haMSter app, a mobile health solution for remote and longitudinal monitoring of PROs in a sample of people with MS (pwMS). The core feature of haMSter is the provision of three PRO questionnaires relevant to MS (anxiety/depression, MS-related quality of life, and fatigue) that patients can fill out once a month. For this feasibility trial, we offered 50 volunteers to use the haMSter app over six months and to take part in a haMSter study visit. This consultation concluded the study and participants had the opportunity to discuss their graphically plotted PRO results with their treating physician. The main outcome was overall patient adherence to monthly completion of the PRO questionnaires, which remained high up to 4 months (98%) and dropped over time (months 5: 83% and 6: 66%). Exploratory outcomes included patient satisfaction as estimated on the Telemedicine Perception Questionnaire (TMPQ, 17-85 points). The mean TMPQ score was 64 (95%CI: 62-66) points, indicating a high degree of approval. Ancillary tests included subgroup analyses of participants with particularly high or low satisfaction and upper extremity disability as a potential obstacle to utility or acceptance. We found no distinct characteristics separating participants with high or low satisfaction. In this first feasibility trial, the haMSter app for longitudinal PRO monitoring was well received in terms of adherence and satisfaction. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04555863.

A new device (Cicogna) for transferring the neonate in the delivery room setting: a randomised, controlled trial

Objective. We developed a new system (‘cicogna’) for transferring the neonates into the delivery room setting. Our aim was to compare the ‘cicogna’ system and the conventional method (plastic basin) with regard to the time needed to transfer the neonate from the operating table to the radiant warmer; and to evaluate the degree of approval for the ‘cicogna’ expressed by the midwives.Study design. In a prospective, randomised, controlled trial including 100 infants (gestational age ≥34 weeks), we measured the time elapsed from the umbilical cord clamping to the positioning of the neonate under the radiant warmer using the ‘cicogna’ system or the conventional method. Midwives involved in the study were asked to fill out a final, written evaluation regarding the feasibility and the safety of the devices.Results. The time elapsed from the cord clamping to the positioning of the infant under the radiant warmer was significantly shorter for infants who were managed with the ‘cicogna’ system compared with infants who received standard care: 18.7 ± 5.6 s vs. 24.5 ± 9.0 s (p < 0.001). In the evaluation forms, 19 out of 20 midwives (95%) evaluated the ‘cicogna’ as good or excellent.Conclusions. In comparison with the conventional method, ‘cicogna’ decreased the time needed to transfer the neonate into delivery room setting and received a high degree of approval by personnel involved in neonatal care. It appears to be a feasible and safe method for transferring the neonate in the setting of the delivery room.

Essential Neurology: Audiovisual Patient Vignettes on CD-ROM as a Teaching Aid for Medical Students

To assess third- and fourth-year medical students’ opinions in the use of previously recorded and edited live patient interviews as a teaching tool during a 1-month clinical neurology rotation. The global burden of neurological disease is on the rise and is projected to reach nearly 15% by the year 2020. The amount of time devoted to neurologic education during medical school is limited. To expand the range of neurologic problems to which students are exposed, we have compiled an archive of 100 audiovisual case vignettes on CD-ROM which students view during their neurology clerkship. The vignettes served as a tool for our former Departmental Chairman (Dr Biller) to discuss diagnosis, ancillary testing, and basic patient management skills with third- and fourth-year medical students during interactive case conferences. A survey conducted among students regarding the vignettes reflects a high degree of approval. Ninety-two percent of the students rated the overall experience with the case vignettes as either “excellent” or “good.” CD-ROM case vignettes are felt to represent a novel way of expanding students’ experience during a brief neurology clerkship. The hope is that use of such archival vignettes will help students hone their diagnostic and therapeutic skills in neurology regardless of their chosen specialty.

Use of a low-cost, PC-based image review workstation at a radiology department.

Despite the increasing use of diagnostic workstations, film reading is still commonplace in most radiology departments all over the world. The purpose of this work is to assess the adoption of image review workstations in a radiology department where the usual primary diagnosis is film-based and cannot be replaced with diagnostic workstations. At our institution, a tertiary care center specialized in diagnostic imaging, a pair of PC-based review workstations running a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)-conformant public domain software for image display and analysis were installed in two reading rooms. Studies are automatically routed after acquisition from the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) server to the workstations and remain available for visualization for approximately 15 to 20 days. Data from two radiologists and two technologists collected over a 3-month period were analyzed, including purpose of use, time savings as compared to traditional manual methods, and overall user satisfaction. The results from the analysis presented in this work indicate a high degree of approval from the users, who report significant timesavings in numerous circumstances, in particular when it comes to discussing findings with referring physicians whenever films are not available. It also enriches communication between radiologists, facilitating peer review on the telephone when one of them has questions at the outcome of any given study. One of the main advantages associated with the system is the possibility of using it as a powerful tool for teaching and research. In conclusion, even when primary diagnosis is performed on film, the availability of a PACS for review can be helpful to enhance communication with referring physicians, as well as technologists and radiologists' efficiency. Our experience shows that it is possible to implement such a system using low-cost or freely available components without compromising ease of use while keeping costs down, which is a major concern in developing countries.

SOLAR: student oriented learning about radiography

The success or otherwise of a radiographic examination is like other health-related interventions, crucially dependent upon the knowledge base of the radiographer and the quality of his/her clinical acumen. Traditional curricular approaches are limited in their ability to assist students to make vital connections between science and clinical decision making. This paper describes a computer-based case-oriented program called SOLAR (student oriented learning about radiography) that has been designed to achieve the necessary level of integration. The key feature of SOLAR is the requirement for students to construct a clinical action plan in response to a scenario provided. Upon submitting this plan, the student can then compare his/her plan to that prepared by an expert. The browsing configuration of SOLAR makes it highly attractive for other health professions as well. Student feedback indicates a high degree of approval for this approach.
