First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests whether proactive telemedicine (brief remote coaching on habits like smoking, diet, and exercise) works as well as in-person visits for rural adults who haven't seen their primary care team in over a year. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to either remote or face-to-face care. The goal is to see if telemedicine can improve access to healthcare and quality of life without sacrificing safety or effectiveness.
