Effectiveness and safety of acute care telemedicine for children with regular and special healthcare needs.
The authors assessed the hypothesis that effectiveness and safety of the Health-e-Access telemedicine model for care of children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) with acute illness equaled those for care of children in regular childcare and schools (CRS). They concluded that observations support safety and effectiveness of Health-e-Access telemedicine for both CSHCN and CRS.

TELEmedicine for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (TELE-IBD): design and implementation of randomized clinical trial.
This study compares disease activity and quality of life over 1 year in a randomized trial of IBD patients receiving standard care versus telemedicine. If effective, telemedicine should decrease symptoms, improve quality of life, and decrease health care utilization. The burden associated with use of telemedicine for patients and providers needs to be assessed. This trial is ongoing and will be completed in July 2016.

Usability and feasibility of an mHealth intervention for monitoring and managing pain symptoms in Sickle Cell Disease: The Sickle Cell Disease Mobile Application to Record Symptoms via Technology (SMART).
This article describes the feasibility of the Sickle cell disease Mobile Application to Record symptoms via Technology (SMART), an mHealth app developed to help sickle cell disease patients monitor and manage their day-to-day symptoms. The researchers concluded that that SMART is a useable and feasible method for monitoring daily pain symptoms among adolescents and adults with sickle cell disease-related pain.
