Comparison of Health Buddy® with Traditional Approaches to Heart Failure Management

Abstract: The purpose of this pilot study was to (a) determine the feasibility of providing a heart failure disease management program through an in-home telehealth communication device (Health Buddy) and (b) compare the effectiveness of the Health Buddy with traditional home management strategies (telephonic, home visit) in achieving selected patient outcomes (self-efficacy, functional status, depression, and health-related quality of life). Ninety participants completed the study through 2 months. Thirty percent of pa… Show more

“…Of these, one found that TH improved self-efficacy relative to the control group 27 , two found no group differences 28,36 and two studies comparing multiple intervention arms found some group differences but no evidence of differences between standard TH (i.e. store and forward monitoring of signs and symptoms) and the nominated control group 29,32 (see Table 5 for further details).…”

“…A randomized telehomecare study with patients with diabetes significantly increased self-management,16 improved general health, 21 significantly increased the number of people discharged to home (n = 174) than those receiving usual home care. The LaFramboise team 26 achieved improvement over time in quality of life, functional status, and depression with no between-group differences. Chumbler et al17 used a 3-group case control design with 12-month follow-up to achieve improved function with instrumental activities of daily living, activities of daily living, and cognition in the telehomecare group compared with matched controls.…”

[18][19][20][21] However, a review investigating the role of knowledge, self-efficacy and self-care behaviour in Telehealth patients with heart failure concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support or disprove that clinical outcomes and quality of life are affected by these factors.…”
