Could home devices keep cirrhosis patients out of the hospital?
NCT ID NCT02457988
Summary
This study tested whether sending cirrhosis patients home with a monitoring device could help them stay healthier and avoid returning to the hospital. Researchers compared patients who used a tablet device to track vital signs like weight and blood pressure against patients who received standard follow-up care. The goal was to see if the home monitoring could reduce hospital readmissions and emergency room visits within 30 days after discharge.
