Summary

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a collective term for a group of diseases where the lungs become scarred causing breathlessness. This research project will assess if remote digital monitoring of frequent spirometry and pulse oximetry can provide an additional way to monitor ILD and provide information to support virtual consultations. Outcomes in the remote monitoring group will be compared with usual care alone over 12 months. Patients taking part will be randomly allocated to remote digital monitoring or to usual care (with an equal chance of either). Remote monitoring will be performed using an app provided by patientMpower Ltd which patients will be able to download onto a smartphone or tablet. The study team will provide a spirometer and oximeter for patients to measure their lung function (spirometry) and oxygen saturations. These devices link to the app via Bluetooth to record all measurements. Patients will be asked to do these measurements three times a week. Clinical teams will be asked to review all measurements at least once a fortnight. Health outcomes will be described and compared between the two groups.

Detailed description

This study hopes to understand more about how remote digital monitoring of spirometry and pulse oximetry fits within the clinical care of patients with interstitial lung disease. This study will randomise patients to either remote monitoring or usual care and then collect information about the trajectory of their interstitial lung disease treatment and monitoring for the next 12 months to understand the impact of remote monitoring.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Remote monitoring	Patients will download the patientMpower app and be provided with a spirometer (Spirobank Smart, MIR) and oximeter (Nonin) to record their spirometry and pulse oximetry which will upload to the application via Bluetooth for clinical review. Patients will be asked to upload measurements three times per week.
