First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a telemedicine program to help children with asthma get better follow-up care after an emergency room visit. The program included a video visit at school within a week of discharge, plus two more check-ins. Researchers measured how many symptom-free days children had over the next year. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce asthma attacks and improve use of preventive medications.
