Background
Scale-up BP was a quasi-experimental implementation study, following a successful randomised controlled trial of the roll-out of telemonitoring in primary care across Lothian, Scotland.

Telemonitoring at scale for hypertension in primary care: An implementation study. PLOS Medicine, 17(6), e1003124. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1003124

Background
While evidence from randomised controlled trials shows that telemonitoring for hypertension is associated with improved blood pressure (BP) control, healthcare systems have been slow to implement it, partly because of inadequate integrati...

Implementing telemonitoring in primary care: learning from a large qualitative dataset gathered during a series of studies (2018)
Journal Article
Hanley, J., Pinnock, H., Paterson, M., & McKinstry, B. (2018). Implementing telemonitoring in primary care: learning from a large qualitative dataset gathered during a series of studies. BMC Family Practice, 19(1), 118. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12875-018-0814-6

Background: Telemonitoring for long term conditions such as hypertension and diabetes has not been widely adopted despite evidence of efficacy in trials and policy support. The Telescot programme comprised a series of seven trials and observational s...

Are self-reported telemonitored blood pressure readings affected by end-digit preference: a prospective cohort study in Scotland (2018)
Journal Article
Parker, R. A., Paterson, M., Padfield, P., Pinnock, H., Hanley, J., Hammersley, V. S., Al-Remal, M., Steventon, A., & McKinstry, B. (2018). Are self-reported telemonitored blood pressure readings affected by end-digit preference: a prospective cohort study in Scotland. BMJ Open, 8(1), Article e019431. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2017-019431

Objective Simple forms of blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring require patients to text readings to central servers creating an opportunity for both entry error and manipulation. We wished to determine if there was an apparent preference for particul...

Transition to parenthood in the neonatal care unit: a qualitative study and conceptual model designed to illuminate parent and professional views of the impact of webcam technology (2017)
Journal Article
Kerr, S., King, C., Hogg, R., McPherson, K., Hanley, J., Brierton, M., & Ainsworth, S. (2017). Transition to parenthood in the neonatal care unit: a qualitative study and conceptual model designed to illuminate parent and professional views of the impact of webcam technology. BMC Pediatrics, 17(1), 158. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12887-017-0917-6

Background: Complications during pregnancy, childbirth and/or the postnatal period may result in the admission of a baby to a neonatal unit (NNU). While the survival and long-term prospects of high-risk infants are enhanced by admission, the enforced...

International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 12, 1221-1231. https://doi.org/10.2147/copd.s120706

Abstract: Telehealth programs to promote early identification and timely self-management of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (AECOPDs) have yielded disappointing results, in part, because parameters monitored (symptoms, p...

Application of Mixed Effects Limits of Agreement in the Presence of Multiple Sources of Variability: Exemplar from the Comparison of Several Devices to Measure Respiratory Rate in COPD Patients (2016)
Journal Article

PLOS ONE, 11(12), Article e0168321. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0168321

Introduction
The Bland-Altman limits of agreement method is widely used to assess how well the measurements produced by two raters, devices or systems agree with each other. However, mixed effects versions of the method which take into account multi...

Background: Pulse oximetry could potentially contribute to self-monitoring. NHS Lothian’s ‘Light Touch’ service
provided COPD patients with a self-management plan based on symptoms and oximetry. The service was overseen
(though not actively monitor... Read More about Oximetry-supported self-management for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: mixed method feasibility pilot project.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pinnock, H., Fairbrother, P., Hanley, J., McCloughan, L., Todd, A., & McKinstry, B. Perspectives of patients and healthcare professionals on the impact of telemetrically supported patient self-management for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a qualitative study nested in the TELESCOT trial

Background: Early identification of exacerbations reduces hospital admissions and may slow disease progression. The TELESCOT
randomised control trial based in Lothian, Scotland, is investigating the impact of a tele-monitoring service for COPD with...
