Location: Agora 2 West, Level 2
Objective: The objective of this literature revision is to review and analyze the current research on the uses of Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVRS) in Parkinson Disease (PD), besides randomization in clinical trials.
Background: Interactive voice response is a phone-based platform that can be used to deliver health interventions with promising results in several medical conditions.
Method: A literature search of the PubMed database was conducted. Studies were included if they met inclusion criteria: (1) IVRS having been used in PD patients; and (2) IVRS not used for randomization in clinical trials.
Results: Sixty-nine studies were identified; two met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. None was a randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion: This review provides evidence that despite the documented effectiveness of automated telephone communication systems for managing long-term conditions and improve clinical outcomes, IVRS are yet to be explored in PD. Future studies should usefully test the feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of IVR-based interventions for different health settings in PD, using rigorous designs and objective outcome measures.
