Evaluating the Impact of InSee on Incentive Spirometer Utilization

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if the frequency of patients’ use of physician ordered incentive spirometry increases with visual and auditory electronic reminders and encouragement compared to the no signal cohort.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
