Enabling Patient-Reported Outcomes Through Innovative Care - ACS (EPIC-ACS)

Enabling Patient-Reported Outcomes Through Innovative Care Approach in Thai Older Adults Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Mixed Methods Experimental Design

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an innovative care approach that integrates face-to-face education, motivational counseling, and mobile health (mHealth) support delivered via the LINE application among Thai older adults following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The intervention aims to support post-discharge recovery by promoting healthy behaviors, improving health status, and enhancing patient satisfaction with care. The primary objective is to assess the effect of the intervention on patient-reported outcomes, including healthy behaviors, health status, and patient satisfaction. Secondary objectives include evaluating unplanned hospital visits during a 12-week follow-up period and exploring participants' experiences, motivation, and engagement with the innovative care approach.
