Study design details

Main study objective

This study aims to: Evaluate the effectiveness of the device in remotely monitoring the severity of chronic dermatologic pathologies. Assess patient satisfaction with the device for remote monitoring.

Outcomes

Primary Analyses - Clinical Utility Questionnaire Specialists found the device easy to use, optimized consultation time, and enhanced data collection. General satisfaction was high, with an overall mean score of 71.39. Statistical Analysis A one-sample Student's t-test suggested no substantial evidence to reject the hypothesis, aligning the observed sample mean with a population mean of 80, Data Utility Questionnaire: Specialists unanimously agreed on app usefulness. Mean scores revealed strong preferences for app functionalities, with some variations. System Usability Scale Questionnaire: Specialists found the device easy to use, with positive feedback on integration. Discrepancies encountered indicated areas for improvement.

Data analysis plan

For the purpose of estimating mean responses and their variability, we calculated the mean and standard deviation for all questions. Additionally, to evaluate the hypothesis concerning the CUS value, we conducted a one-sample Student's t-test to determine the statistical significance and either accept or reject the hypothesis based on the test results.
