Summary

This platform will enable investigation the cardiovascular risk reduction and the increase in participant engagement in their heart-healthy goals, through the use of virtual care/telemedicine with a digital platform that connects them to their own doctors, nurses, and dietitians.

Detailed description

The study will use telemedicine and the mobile health capabilities of smartphones to facilitate communication of medical goals set by the treating physician to the subject in between clinic visits, and to assess the daily medical and lifestyle change compliance of enrolled Stanford subjects and provide virtual health coaching, as needed, to subjects to achieve said goals. How patients comply with their specific medical and lifestyle goals all affect their cardiovascular health, yet largely go unmeasured. These can now be measured with a notification-based system in which subject-entered activity, medication compliance, and dietary reporting data will be collected, assessed, and trigger appropriate responses by the subject's Care Team, which includes their physician, nurse, dietitian, and assigned health coach. We aim to collect this subject-reported activity and cardiovascular care plan compliance data to provide much more quantitative data on type, duration, and intensity of daily activities and compliance with the medication regimens of enrolled subjects. The study will compare anthropometric cardiovascular risk biomarkers testing at the initial visit and after 3 months, in subjects utilizing the HealthPals digital platform PLUS the standard SSATHI clinic visits, versus subjects receiving only SSATHI clinic visits.
