An Actual Use, Open-label Study Assessing Usability of Remote Assist to Program Cochlear Implant Recipients : An Actual Use, Prospective, Adaptive Design, Single Centre, Non-randomised, Open-label Study, Assessing Usability of Remote Assist When Used to Program Cochlear Implant Recipients
Clinical management of cochlear implant (CI) recipients involve programming, counselling, performance evaluation and habilitation. The standard practice for this management involves frequent clinical visits in the first year after implantation and annual visits for the rest of the recipient's life. The need to travel to the clinic for follow up appointments can pose significant challenges for recipients, particularly those who live far away from the clinic. There have been reports of recipients being lost to follow up due to the difficulties in travelling to the clinic. The inconvenience of scheduling a session and travelling to the clinic might deter recipients from seeking help for some seemingly small / less troubling issues and increase their tendency to somehow bear and live with the issues. Sometimes clinicians schedule follow-up sessions with the primary purpose of following-up on progress with strategies provided earlier to overcome real world problems. Such follow-up on progress can easily be completed via a video call as well. Remote programming is one telehealth solution known to be successful in addressing the challenges of travelling to the clinic for appointments. During the Covid-19 pandemic there was a demonstrated increase in the uptake of remote programming when traveling to the clinic posed a health and safety risk. Current methods of remote programming of CI requires the use of special computer and programming hardware as well as proprietary programming software to be installed on a personal computer (PC) at the remote location. Although remote programming potentially reduces the travel burden for some recipients, it involves substantial administrative effort and cost by clinics to prepare, send, retrieve back, and clean remote programming hardware and software. This also reduces the frequency with which remote programming appointments can be scheduled due to time delays in sending and retrieving equipment. Remote Assist (RA) is a new solution that allows the clinician to make MAP and sound processor adjustments via the recipient's Nucleus Smart app (NSA) installed on their smart phone. With RA the clinician can also perform counselling using a video call directly via the NSA. As RA uses no specialized hardware and software that needs to be sent and retrieved back from the recipient, it has the potential to further improve the remote programming experience and convenience for both the recipient and the clinician.The current study aims to assess recipients ease and experience with using Remote Assist to receive remote programming of their CI..
