NCT ID NCT07386275
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a telemedicine app (eSalut) helps patients who are recovering at home instead of in the hospital. 202 adults admitted to a home hospitalization program were randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard care. Researchers tracked readmissions, complications, and patient satisfaction to see if the app improves outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eSalut digital platform (telemedicine app)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple app helps patients recover at home with fewer hospital readmissions and better satisfaction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with 202 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The app requires digital skills and a smartphone, which not all patients have.
