New E-Health system aims to keep tabs on chronic patients remotely
NCT ID NCT02803489
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested an e-health system that uses tele-monitoring, tele-notification, and tele-coaching to help manage adults with at least two chronic conditions like heart failure, COPD, or diabetes. The goal was to see how well the system could detect health problems early. Only 23 people took part, and the study was stopped early, so results are limited.
