PCORI Watch
COVID Watch is a successful program that monitors COVID suspected patients at home via self-reported twice daily checkins, primarily focused on dyspnea. COVID Pulse was a program that was developed in parallel that sought to quantify dyspnea levels through the use of a pulse oximeter. The intent of this study was to randomize patients between the two programs to establish the additional value, if any, of the use of pulse oximeters. Enrollment in the program was completed in record time and results are pending publication.
