First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual home hospital program with remote monitoring can help people recover from acute kidney injury without needing to stay in the hospital. Researchers will enroll 354 adults who are at high risk of readmission. Participants will receive digital tools and virtual care instead of usual follow-up, with the goal of reducing hospital stays and improving long-term outcomes.
