The Company
The Complex Structure of Endocrinology is part of the Department of Biomedical, Metabolic and Neuroscience Sciences of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. The research activity carried out by the structure is documented by a significant scientific production and by the continuous and profitable collaboration with Centers of international relevance and by participation in national and international conferences.
The Challenge
The clinical trial “Improving the Identification and Management of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD)” aims to address the lack of comprehensive information on growth hormone deficiency in adults (AGHD) and how physical activity can affect such pathology. In order to be able to pursue the objective of the study it is necessary to develop a tool for data collection directly from the patient that allows collecting data on the quality of life, physical activity and well-being.
The solution
DataRiver has developed the web and mobile platform “MAGHD App” for managing the administration of questionnaires on the quality of life accessible by patients through apps on smartphones and the remote collection, via wearable devices, of data on physical activity performed by patients.
Results
– Daily collection of information on the state of health, physical activity and the patient’s mental state
– Doctor-patient communication optimization
– Improved adherence to therapy
– Improved self-awareness of patients on their clinical status
