Objective: To examine responses to text-message reminders and associate responses with senders' characteristics and subsequent screening.Methods: Prospective cohort intervention. Text-message reminders to undergo colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, randomized into interrogative and declarative phrasing, sent to non-adherent women and men (40,000), aged 50 to 74, at CRC average-risk. Recipients' responses were analyzed by message type and recipients' characteristics; for content, the latter predicting subsequent CRC screening per program database. . This study applied an mHealth tool to enhance CRC screening: reminders (to screen) were worded as questions, not statements, and sent as text-messages via cellular-phones to a target audience of non-adherent individuals [4]. This is an account of recipient responses to the reminders, uncovering a change in less adherent population sectors invited for CRC screening. ResultsThe short message service (SMS) emerged in 1992 and by 1995 it was a socially acceptable and widely used means of communication [3,5]. Since that time, textmessaging diffused from a personal means of communication among friends and colleagues to a tool used by organizations to contact and inform target audiences [6,7]. SMS has been used (as pre-or post-notification reminders) to improve response rates to mailed questionnaires; [8] In health, SMS has been used to enhance appointment attendance [9,10]; post-treatment risk reduction [11]; medication adherence [12], and to promote self-management and risk reduction among patients with cardiovascular, and coronary heart disease [13,14]. Reviews of these studies indicate SMS interventions are a robust means for effectively targeting health behavior change; effects have been small-tomoderate [12,15]. Statistical analysisFirst, Respondents were characterized by experimental condition (grammatical form and social context), demographic attributes and FOBT past performance (sporadic/never). Secondly, responses to the SMS interrogative conditions only, were coded for content and length. The content categories were grouped into two new variables: position towards CRC screening and

“…To summarise, telemonitoring can be used to monitor patient's physiological status (heart rate, blood pressure and weight) and clinical symptoms (chest pain, dyspnoea and oedema) at home via external monitoring devices or implantable cardiovascular devices, and thereby identify deteriorations in health (Chaudhry et al, 2007); telecoaching can be used to provide in-home support or advice on risk factor modifications via motivational text messaging (Chow et al, 2015;Frederix et al, 2015a) and coaching sessions over the telephone (Piamjariyakul et al, 2013); and telerehabilitation can be used to deliver rehabilitation services across a distance via telecommunication technologies (Frederix et al, 2015b;Holland & Cox, 2017;Piotrowicz et al, 2016a) such as online videoconferencing.…”

Providing Heart Failure Rehabilitation in the Home via Telerehabilitation

Exercise is effective for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Despite this, many patients are unable to access traditional exercise-based rehabilitation programs for various reasons, such as transport difficulties and program availability. Telerehabilitation, in which telecommunication technologies are used to provide rehabilitation at a distance, is an alternative approach which may overcome some of these barriers.The current literature suggests that telerehabilitation is effective in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. However the majority of studies focus on phone-based interventions, so there is a need for more studies on the use of video-based telerehabilitation programs. Video-based telerehabilitation is a new approach which enables patients to exercise in the comfort of their homes, whilst maintaining synchronous audiovisual communication. This approach enables the clinician to watch patients performing the exercises and to provide real-time feedback and modification as required, as well as facilitate the development of rapport between the clinician and patients, and peer support amongst patients. Video-based telerehabilitation also presents a potential way to conduct remote assessment of functional exercise capacity.This thesis aimed to explore a new service delivery model for providing heart failure exercise-based rehabilitation programs. The thesis commences with a systematic review of telerehabilitation in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases (Study 1, Paper 1). The next study aimed to determine the suitability of the timed up and go test (TUGT) as an outcome measurement in heart failure rehabilitation programs (Study 2, Paper 2). In addition, the validity and reliability of telerehabilitation assessments of functional tests including the TUGT were examined in patients with CHF (Study 3, Paper 3). A randomised controlled trial determined the feasibility and effectiveness of a home-based heart failure telerehabilitation program compared with a traditional centre-based program (Study 4, Paper 4). A mixed methods study was also conducted to determine patient experiences and perspectives related to a heart failure telerehabilitation program (Study 5, Paper 5).Based on the systematic review of 11 studies, telerehabilitation appears to be a promising alternative to traditional centre-based programs in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. In particular, telerehabilitation has been shown to improve exercise capacity and quality of life in these patient groups and has higher adherence rates compared with traditional centre-based programs.iii However, suitable outcome measures that can be administered via telerehabilitation are required. A possible outcome measure is the TUGT, which is a quick and easy-to-administer functional test.However prior to using the TUGT as an outcome measure in telerehabilitation studies, it was first important to validate its use in both face-to-face and telerehabilitation environments. The TUGT demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability in patients with C...

“…Three of these studies reported automated computer programs to deliver the text-messages and two required the participant to respond back to the messages. One study that evaluated behaviour change achieved improvements in cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index and smoking cessation [36] . Another trial evaluated patient monitoring and communication with a health professional and showed improvements in CV risk profile [37] .…”
