This study looks to examine whether an online patient tool to monitor factors affecting patients peripheral artery disease can lead to improvements in patients' disease and slow its progression.
The objective of this project is to implement a program involving a new online patient-centred approach to assist in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) self-management in home and work environments, in collaboration with patient circles of care (patients, care-givers, physicians, and allied healthcare professionals). This program involves online modules tailored to the needs of specific patients and diseases, oriented to education, training, monitoring, and continuing support for lifestyle changes (smoking cessation, exercise, healthy diets, weight loss, etc.) and psycho-social needs such as social isolation and loneliness. The investigators have tested an online desk-top version for over 30 out-patients with PAD at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. The investigators propose to test its ability for improved outcomes and healthcare quality of life through a multi-centre randomized controlled trial for PAD and a frequently co-occurring chronic illness, high blood pressure.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online Support Module | Experimental | Patients in the online support module group will receive a tablet which has the developed peripheral arterial disease platform installed on it. The platform helps the patient to monitor factors related to their peripheral arterial disease such as exercise, smoking, and diet and helps them to track and modify these behaviours. |
|
| Standard of Care | Active Comparator | Patients in this arm will receive the standard of care as provided by the institution. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Ankle Brachial Index | The ankle brachial index will be measured to determine peripheral artery disease status and progression. | 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Pressure | Patient blood pressure. | 1 year |
| Health Related Quality of Life | Quality of life measured using the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D). The EQ-5D provides a variety of health states which can then be converted to an index score ranging from 0-1.0, with 0 indicating a poorer health state and 1.0 representing a better health state. |
