Abstract:

Background Physical inactivity is a major, potentially modifiable, risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other chronic diseases. Effective, simple, and generalisable interventions that will increase physical activity in populations are needed. Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of a smartphone application (app) to increase physical activity in primary care. Design and setting An 8-week, open-label, randomised controlled trial in rural, primary care in the west of Ireland. Method Android smartphone users >16 years of age were recruited. All participants were provided with similar physical activity goals and information on the benefits of exercise. The intervention group was provided with a smartphone app and detailed instructions on how to use it to achieve these goals. The primary outcome was change in physical activity, as measured by a daily step count between baseline and follow-up. Results A total of 139 patients were referred by their primary care health pro...

Implementation of the SMART MOVE intervention in primary care: a qualitative study using normalisation process theory (2018)

Glynn, Liam G.; Glynn, Fergus; Casey, Monica; Gaffney Wilkinson, Louise; Hayes, Patrick S.; Heaney, David J.; Murphy, Andrew W.

Abstract:

Background: Problematic translational gaps continue to exist between demonstrating the positive impact of healthcare interventions in research settings and their implementation into routine daily practice. The aim of this qualitative evaluation of the SMART MOVE trial was to conduct a theoretically informed analysis, using normalisation process theory, of the potential barriers and levers to the implementation of a mhealth intervention to promote physical activity in primary care. Methods: The study took place in the West of Ireland with recruitment in the community from the Clare Primary Care Network. SMART MOVE trial participants and the staff from four primary care centres were invited to take part and all agreed to do so. A qualitative methodology with a combination of focus groups (general practitioners, practice nurses and non-clinical staff from four separate primary care centres, n = 14) and individual semi-structured interviews (intervention and control SMART MOVE trial par...

Implementing transnational telemedicine solutions: A connected health project in rural and remote areas of six Northern Periphery countries (2013)

Abstract:

This is the first article in a Series on collaborative projects between European countries, relevant for general practice/family medicine and primary healthcare. Telemedicine, in particular the use of the Internet, videoconferencing and handheld devices such as smartphones, holds the potential for further strides in the application of technology for the delivery of healthcare, particularly to communities in rural and remote areas within and without the European Union where this study is taking place. The Northern Periphery Programme has funded the 'Implementing Transnational Telemedicine Solutions' (ITTS) project from September 2011 to December 2013, led by the Centre for Rural Health in Inverness, Scotland. Ten sustainable projects based on videoconsultation (speech therapy, renal services, emergency psychiatry, diabetes), mobile patient self-management (physical activity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease) and home-based health services (medical and social care emerge...

Patients' views and experiences of technology based self-management tools for the treatment of hypertension in the community: A qualitative study (2015)

Glynn, Liam G.; Casey, Monica; Walsh, Jane; Hayes, Patrick S.; Harte, Richard P.; Heaney, David J.

Abstract:

Background: Patients with hypertension in the community frequently fail to meet treatment goals. The optimal way to organize and deliver care to hypertensive patients has not been clearly identified. The powerful on-board computing capacity of mobile devices, along with the unique relationship individuals have with newer technologies, suggests that they have the potential to influence behaviour. However, little is known regarding the views and experiences of patients using such technology to self-manage their hypertension and associated lifestyle behaviours. The aim of this study was to explore patients' views and experiences of using technology based self-management tools for the treatment of hypertension in the community. Methods: This focus group study was conducted with known hypertensive patients over 45 years of age who were recruited in a community setting in Ireland. Taped and transcribed semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample involving 50 participants in s...

Abstract:

Regular physical activity is known to help prevent and treat numerous non-communicable diseases. Smartphone applications (apps) have been shown to increase physical activity in primary care but little is known regarding the views of patients using such technology or how such technology may change behaviour.

SMART MOVE - a smartphone-based intervention to promote physical activity in primary care: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (2013)

Glynn, Liam G.; Hayes, Patrick S.; Casey, Monica; Glynn, Fergus; Alvarez-Iglesias, Alberto; Newell, John; ÓLaighin, Gearóid; Heaney, David J.; Murphy, Andrew W.

Abstract:

Background: Sedentary lifestyles are now becoming a major concern for governments of developed and developing countries with physical inactivity related to increased all-cause mortality, lower quality of life, and increased risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and many other chronic diseases. The powerful onboard computing capacity of smartphones, along with the unique relationship individuals have with their mobile phones, suggests that mobile devices have the potential to influence behavior. However, no previous trials have been conducted using smartphone technology to promote physical activity. This project has the potential to provide robust evidence in this area of innovation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a smartphone application as an intervention to promote physical activity in primary care. Methods/design: A two-group, parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a main outcome measure of mean difference in daily step count between baseline...

Abstract:

Background: Implementation researchers have attempted to overcome the research-practice gap in e-health by developing tools that summarize and synthesize research evidence of factors that impede or facilitate implementation of innovation in healthcare settings. The e-Health Implementation Toolkit (e-HIT) is an example of such a tool that was designed within the context of the United Kingdom National Health Service to promote implementation of e-health services. Its utility in international settings is unknown. Methods: We conducted a qualitative evaluation of the e-HIT in use across four countries–Finland, Norway, Scotland, and Sweden. Data were generated using a combination of interview approaches (n = 22) to document e-HIT users’ experiences of the tool to guide decision making about the selection of e-health pilot services and to monitor their progress over time. Results: e-HIT users evaluated the tool positively in terms of its scope to organize and enhance their critical thinki...
