A randomised controlled trial of a comprehensive smartphone application-centric model of care to improve outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease

这项研究项目将考察智能手机应用程序和相关护理模式的使用情况。1080名参与者将被招募并随机接受应用程序和两个外围设备--血压仪和磅秤--这两个设备都会将结果无线传输到应用程序，然后再传输到在线服务器。这些数据由研究团队监控，他们可能会使用这些数据来识别患者病情的令人担忧的趋势。

This research project will examine the use of a smartphone application and an associated care model. 1,080 participants will be recruited and randomised to either receiving the application and two peripheral devices - a blood pressure machine and a weighing scale - both of which wirelessly transmit the results to the app and subsequently to an online server. This data is monitored by the research team who may use it to identify alarming trends in a patients' condition.
