Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Patient Ability to Prepare and Administer the 13C-Spirulina GEBT, Under the Supervision of a Telehealth Professional, According to Instructions
Ability to prepare GEBT will be assessed by the telehealth administrator's observation of the patient.
Patient Ability to Prepare and Administer the 13C-Spirulina GEBT, Under the Supervision of a Telehealth Professional, According to Instructions
Ability to prepare GEBT will be assessed by a patient questionnaire.
Patient Ability to Complete the GEBT Test Request Form, Under the Supervision of a Telehealth Professional, According to the Instructions
Ability to complete the GEBT test request form will be assessed by Cairn accessioning personnel upon receipt of returned breath samples.
Patient Ability to Complete the GEBT Test Request Form, Under the Supervision of a Telehealth Professional, According to the Instructions
Ability to complete the GEBT test request form will be assessed by a patient questionnaire.
Patient Ability to Collect GEBT Breath Samples Under the Supervision of a Telehealth Professional
Ability to collect GEBT breath samples will be assessed by examination of GEBT results for participants (ensuring adequate CO2 in each sample/delta values follow expected pattern if collected in correct order).
Ability to Successfully Ship Kits/Breath Samples to/From Home
Ability to ship GEBT kits/breath samples to/from home will be assessed by surveying patients regarding shipping and by recording the dates that kits were shipped and received
Ability of a Telehealth Platform to Function Correctly
Verification that the software is user friendly and not subject to frequent failures during use will be assessed by a telehealth administrator questionnaire
Ability of a Telehealth Platform to Function Correctly
Verification that the software is user friendly and not subject to frequent failures during use will be assessed by a patient questionnaire
Safety of Telehealth Administration of 13C-Spirulina GEBT Versus Administration in a Clinician's Facility
Any adverse events reported will be reviewed by Cairn's medical director to assess that there is no more than expected frequency of adverse events during administration of GEBT by a telehealth professional than would be expected during administration of GEBT in a clinician's facility. This will be performed by comparing the current rate of events in a physician's office versus under the supervision of a telehealth professional as identified through the risk analyses performed for GEBT administration.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to establish the usability of a telehealth platform for the administration of GEBT.
Detailed Description
This study is intended to demonstrate that the 13C-Spirulina Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT) can be successfully administered via a telehealth platform. Telehealth administration of GEBT is where a trained Cairn employee uses a video link to remotely supervise the completion of the test request form, collection of breath samples, cooking and consumption of the test meal and return of breath samples by the patient to Cairn.
