I work on a few different research studies that are testing interventions to increase social support for patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart failure and depression. The interventions (or programs) utilize information technology and self-care management models to help patients better manage the myriad range of things they have to do to stay healthy- being on restricted diets, taking multiple medications, getting proper exercise and being aware of symptoms of concern. The system of using telephone technology and group/individual education sessions allows health care symptoms to monitor and take better care of their patients-keeping them healthier and hopefully, out of the hospital.
