Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Objective: To explore the feasibility of individualized telerehabilitation technologies and a program for patients with AF.

Outcome measures:

To evaluate two concepts for telerehabilitation programs and technologies for patients with AF in order to see how these concepts can increase self-management for patients in their rehabilitation process. The following outcome measures are in focus:

Primary outcomes:

  • Usability of technologies seen from patients' and healthcare professionals' perspectives
  • Test and evaluation of the contents of telerehabilitation programs

Secondary outcomes:

  • Measurements of clinical data
  • Patients' and relatives' expectations for and experience with participation in the telerehabilitation program
  • Healthcare professionals' experience with workflows and collaboration between each other in the telerehabilitation program

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Interviews with patients regarding the use of technology, themes on rehabilitation for AF patients on web portal, and education at healthcare center
At day 30
Usability test of technologies seen from patients' and healthcare professionals' perspectives
