Summary
This completed trial in Taiwan tested whether a digital health program helps middle-aged and older adults manage conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. 199 participants from four communities used smart devices to measure their health data at home, which doctors reviewed monthly to give personalized advice. The study lasted 6 months and looked at changes in blood sugar, blood pressure, uric acid, and weight.
