Home-Based Connected Devices Combined With Statistical Process Control for the Early Detection of Respiratory Exacerbations by Patients With Cystic Fibrosis: Pilot Interventional Study With a Pre-Post Design.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, patients with cystic fibrosis do not routinely monitor their respiratory function at home.

Objective

This study aims to assess the clinical validity of using different connected health devices at home to measure 5 physiological parameters to help prevent exacerbations on a personalized basis from the perspective of patient empowerment.

Methods

A multicenter interventional pilot study including 36 patients was conducted. Statistical process control-the cumulative sum control chart (CUSUM)-was used with connected health device measures with the objective of sending patients alerts at a relevant time in order to identify their individual risk of exacerbations. Associated patient education was delivered. Quantitative and qualitative data were collect
