Incorporating a patient facing application and home calprotectin based patient initiated follow up and monitoring in IBD Home® digital care
Hull University Teaching Hospitals conducted a study on incorporating Ampersand’s patient-facing app and home calprotectin based PIFU and monitoring in IBD Home digital care (2023).
Here are the key facts and results of the study:
- This real world, case controlled study of 594 IBD patients at Hull University Teaching Hospitals set out to evaluate a comprehensive, integrated, and holistic approach to value-based care, supporting patients where possible in their own homes.
- The pathway incorporated My IBD Care, including POC calprotectin testing, as a monitoring device.
- Primary endpoints were patient safety, acceptance and non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints included system efficiencies resulting from implementing patient initiated follow-up.
- The study showed a 40% reduction in routine follow-up appointments.
- Flares were identified earlier, with over 50% of cases handled entirely out of hospital.
Identification and Evaluation of Mobile Applications for Self-Management of Diet and Lifestyle for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Researchers from Mount Sinai, one of the largest teaching hospitals in the US, conducted a study on digital support tools for people with IBD, including My IBD Care.
Here are some of the key findings from our Patient Support Programme Report:
- Researchers reviewed 1500+ digital support tools for people with IBD, only 6 of which met the qualifying criteria as a high-quality behavioural health intervention.
- These 6 qualifying interventions were compared using a variety of sophisticated statistical methods and objective evaluation criteria including the MARS scale.
- Primary endpoints were the information quality, functionality and engagement of each intervention, with reference to diet and other behavioural interventions.
- Along with LyfeMD (who were closely associated with the publication) My IBD Care was the highest rated intervention overall, for mental health, behaviour change, quality and other endpoints.
Evaluation of the My Arthritis App Digital Therapeutic
Ampersand Health is honoured to receive funding from Innovate UK.
Here are some of the key findings from our Arthritis Digital Therapeutic report.
- Patients taking the courses reported that they helped to change their behaviour through positively impacting their knowledge, beliefs about their capabilities, optimism, beliefs about the health and wellbeing consequences of self-management and their ability to set goals.
- Over 62% of patients reported that they had a positive attitude towards the course that they completed.
- Symptoms and disease activity measured on a validated Patient Reported Outcome Measure remained consistent throughout the trial.
- The overall positive response and acceptability of the technology, both from clinicians and subject matter experts is extremely promising.
Unique Features
Our platform is optimised for chronic inflammatory disease. It offers unique and useful features that help build a clear picture of patients’ health status and wellbeing over time.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Clinicians gain insights of what their patients have experienced between appointments. This is achieved through the collection of PROMS, data from connected wearable devices, and tracking of lifestyle factors within the app.
Behavioural Health
Using scalable digital interventions and health coaching, patients engage in self-led behaviour change.
Care Plan Management
Clinicians can create unique care plans for their patients based on the data collected through remote monitoring, allowing for better medication adherence, quicker interventions and treatment plan adjustments.
Health Systems Integration
Our platform connects Ampersand Health data with electronic patient records and home and POC blood and calprotectin testing to augment and support a more holistic picture of one’s health.
