New telemedicine approach aims to catch decline in fragile patients early
NCT ID NCT07299344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will follow 100 medically fragile adults with conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or certain fractures. The goal is to see if remote check-ins via video calls can reliably spot declines in mobility and thinking, compared to in-person visits. This could help doctors manage care more proactively and use resources wisely.
