First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether teaching Latino patients with type 2 diabetes how to use patient portals and telehealth during a hospital stay helps them manage their care after discharge. 84 adults will receive either one-on-one digital training or standard care. The main goal is to see if trained patients log into the portal more often in the 30 days after leaving the hospital.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital literacy training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that simple bedside digital training helps patients manage their diabetes better after leaving the hospital.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 84 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The training may not lead to lasting changes in health outcomes.
