In this protocol, the investigators will determine compliance, acceptability, and patient satisfaction regarding the use of remote monitors and summarize changes in activity over time among patients with decompensated cirrhosis. This is a feasibility pilot study that will recruit 20 patients. The investigators plan to determine the feasibility of wearable devices to remotely monitor daily activity (e.g., physical activity, sedentary time, sleep), cognitive function, blood pressure, and weight in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, by assessing patient compliance. A patient is considered compliant if they wear the wristwatch at least 10 hours per day and use the Apps, body weight scale, and blood pressure monitor for at least 4 of 7 days
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
20
To determine the feasibility and engagement with remote management of acutely decompensated cirrhosis patients using CirrhoCare® App, CyberLiver ART App, and remote monitors by assessing patient adherence to the monitoring device and the Apps over a 3-month period.
Feasibility and acceptability of using remote health monitoring
To determine the feasibility and engagement with remote management of acutely decompensated cirrhosis patients using CirrhoCare® App, CyberLiver ART App, and remote monitors by assessing patient adherence to the monitoring device and the Apps over a 3-month period. After the 3-month study period, the participants can opt to remain in contact using the App. If they agree, they will be contacted at 6 months and a year.
