Doctors test video calls to fight foot amputations in remote towns

NCT ID NCT04440839

Summary

This study tested if using video calls with specialists could get faster care for people in rural areas with serious foot sores from diabetes and poor blood flow. Researchers compared patients who had video consultations to those who had to travel for standard in-person visits. The goal was to see if the remote visits could speed up treatment and potentially help wounds heal faster or prevent amputations.
