Summary

This study tested whether a telehealth program could help older adults (60+) with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome plan their future medical care. Researchers worked with 36 patients, their caregivers, and doctors to see if the program was easy to use and practical. The goal was not to treat the disease, but to learn if this approach could support better communication about care preferences.
