Interactive Mobile Health Information to Enhance Patient Care at a Cystic Fibrosis Center (MOMMI3CFCM)
Evaluating the Feasibility of Interactive Mobile Health Information to Enhance Patient Care at a Cystic Fibrosis Center
Real-world adherence to inhaled and oral therapies for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients remains discouragingly low, ranging between 31-53% for inhaled antibiotics and 41-72% for hypertonic saline. Programs to enhance adherence, including comprehensive behavioral interventions with adolescents, have met with mixed success. Advances in therapy, treatment delivery systems, and data capture technology offer the potential for enhancing adherence by providing immediate and more frequent feedback to the patient regarding his or her fidelity to the prescribed treatment regimen. The investigators propose to evaluate a systematic yet technically simple approach to linking treatment and feedback components to enhance adherence in a real-work CF clinic setting that treats a significant minority patient population.
This is the first trial assessing the impact of a collaborative active intervention program of a multi disciplinary team in improving adherence to specific chronic medications and improving clinical outcomes in CF patients. The PI has implemented the texting service (Caremessage.org) with COPD and diabetes patients. The content will be modified to provide both English and Spanish language content relevant to these participants and their standard treatment protocols.

Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive mobile health information service in supporting clinic staff (i.e., nurse practitioners, case managers and care coordinators) at a Cystic Fibrosis Center clinic to connect with patients and create conversations around behavior-centered goals. The interactive mobile health information service has been designed to supplement the standard of care by supporting patient-empowerment strategies through:
- educating participants,
- encouraging behavior change, and
- promoting adherence with their treatment protocols.
The project will adapt the iCAN program content as an educational tool to be incorporated in the educational material. iCAN is an electronic platform aimed to provide an engaging environment for diabetic outpatients to self-manage, gain control over their health, and ultimately adhere to their medical appointments and regimen. Similar to diabetes, CF is an all-encompassing chronic disease that requires coordinated efforts among patients, caregivers, and health-care providers across treatment adherence, nutrition, lifestyle choices, and social support systems. Central to the mobile health information service is the interactive and personalized text-based message system that delivers actionable and tailored health content to participants: office visit appointment reminders; medication adherence reminders; and general health education messages. While a number of technically sophisticated applications exist, our approach will involve a less sophisticated and complex approach. Our primary objective is to get the information to the patients, some of whom are members of lower income minority communities. If "simple" interventions prove effective, then the groundwork will have been laid for considering more tailored albeit complex systems.

Secondary objectives include evaluating program processes that enhance participant use of the system: 1) to receive responses to specific questions; 2) to track their individual progress towards achieving health goals, and; 3) to respond to system prompts to self-report data in the interactive component related to their actions or behaviors, e.g.
RSVP to appointment reminders, self-management behaviors related to medication adherence, and self-management behaviors related to the achieving health goals.
Processes involving program management and impact on barriers to treatment delivery by clinic staff, treating physicians and parents will also be evaluated.
