Telemedicine-Self Measured Blood Pressure (T-SMBP)
Medifacts can provide each study participant with the required study equipment, including a home blood pressure device and modem. These devices allow for direct capture and upload of home blood pressure data onto the study website. Alert notification can be provided based upon predetermined protocol parameters and ranges.
Benefits of Integrating T-SMBP*
- Possible reduction in the number of study subjects based on the greater statistical power associated with the use of multiple self-measurement
- Potential to see treatment effect within the 1st two weeks which is highly predictive of longer term effects of the drug
- Earlier identification of a reduction in blood pressure versus standard office Blood Pressure values
- Improved patient compliance and reduction in the number of office visits resulting in time and cost savings
