ABSTRACT
Background:
Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability in the United States with significant racial disparities in incidence and mortality. Effective blood pressure management is essential for secondary stroke prevention. Remote blood pressure monitoring used in combination with an electronic data capture (EDC) system offers potential for improved blood pressure control among stroke survivors, especially in under-resourced populations.
Objective:
To describe the development and design of a web-based EDC system tailored for remote blood pressure monitoring and management in stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) survivors.
Methods:
The EDC system was developed for use in the Video-based Intervention to Reduce Treatment and Outcome Disparities in Adults living with Stroke and TIA (VIRTUAL) clinical trial. VIRTUAL a randomized study involving adult stroke survivors receiving care for secondary stroke prevention. The EDC system supports remote monitoring using the a blood pressure monitor which was specifically and methodically chosen for its suitability to the population. The EDC system integrates the data from the remote monitors into a web-based application, facilitating real-time monitoring for healthcare team intervention.
Results:
The VIRTUAL system features a secure login, a home page, and a dashboard displaying blood pressure and heart rate trends. The system sends alerts to the clinician for values that are out of range and notifications for reminders or follow-ups. It supports application programming interface integration with other systems for comprehensive patient management.
Conclusions:
The VIRTUAL EDC system facilitates remote monitoring of blood pressure in stroke survivors, offering a model for similar systems in clinical trials. This approach has the potential to improve hypertension management and access to care in stroke survivors. Clinical Trial: NCT05264298
