UNSTRUCTURED During the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, telehealth has received greater attention due to its role in reducing hospital visits from patients with COVID-19 or other conditions, while supporting home isolation in patients with mild symptoms. The needs of patients with chronic diseases tend to be overlooked during the pandemic. With reduced opportunities for routine clinic visits, these patients are adopting various telehealth services such as video consultation and remote monitoring. We advocate for more innovative designs to be considered to enhance patients’ feelings of “copresence”—a sense of connection with another interactant via digital technology—with their health care providers during this time. The copresence-enhanced design has been shown to reduce patients’ anxiety and increase their confidence in managing their chronic disease condition. It has the potential to reduce the patient’s need to reach out to their health care provider during a time when health care resources are being stretched.

Background: Avoiding early hospital readmission after a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) lowers healthcare costs. Purpose: This investigation pilot tested the process of using a Connected Health (CH) communication platform in AF care management. Subjects: A self-selected group of patients (n=18, 56% male, mean age=69 years, SD =12.6) diagnosed with hemodynamically stable AF and an uncontrolled ventricular response with heart rates > 110 bpm were recruited. MethodS: Eligibility criteria included a recent AF related emergency department or outpatient clinic visit and the new prescription of a rate control medication. This included AV node modifying medications (either a beta blocker or nondihydropyradine calcium channel blocker) at a starting dose determined by the supervising physician. A care management team (CMT) coordinated by a nurse practitioner provided individualized telephone medical management with no planned clinical visits during a period of early recovery. Patients were equipped with the AliveCor TM Kardia electrocardiogram (ECG) home monitoring device and a supporting mobile device application. Patients returned home with medical guidance from the CMT and ECG recording instructions. Heart rate and rhythm were monitored remotely by the NP and the medication dose was adjusted to reach a target resting heart rate <110 bpm. Patients were managed for 3-weeks before being discharged back to primary care or outpatient cardiology for consideration of a rate versus rhythm control strategy if spontaneous restoration of sinus rhythm had not occurred. ResultS: Patients recorded an average of 50 ( SD =40.0) ECG tracings with a mean of 13 ( SD =3.79) related CMT telephone contacts. The mean resting heart rate was significantly lower ( p <0.05) at the completion of the intervention (72.9 bpm, SD =17.31) compared to baseline (102.3 bpm, SD =27.17). All of the AF patients achieved adequate heart rate control or spontaneously returned to sinus rhythm. However, 4 patients (22%) required a related emergency room visit and unplanned hospitalization. Conclusion: In this small feasibility study, an electronic healthcare device (biosensor) paired with a mobile-heath application provided a practical remote monitoring communication platform to support tele-management, but the intervention did not prevent hospital readmission. Future Directions: Further research is needed to identify factors that will improve the process of applying CH to AF care management.
