Telemedicine is associated with rapid transfer and fewer involuntary holds among patients presenting with suicidal ideation in rural hospitals: a propensity matched cohort study.
The purpose of this retrospective propensity-matched cohort study was to evaluate the impact of telemedicine in clinical management and patient outcomes of patients presenting to rural critical access hospital emergency departments (EDs) with suicidal ideation or attempt. The authors suggest that the role of telemedicine in influencing access, quality and efficiency of care in underserved rural hospitals is critically important as these networks become more prevalent in rural healthcare environments.

Effect of collaborative dementia care via telephone and internet on quality of life, caregiver well-being, and health care use: the Care Ecosystem randomized clinical trial.
Few health systems have adopted effective dementia care management programs. The Care Ecosystem is a model for delivering care from centralized hubs across broad geographic areas to caregivers and persons with dementia (PWDs) independently of their health system affiliations. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Care Ecosystem was effective in improving outcomes important to PWDs, their caregivers, and payers beyond those achieved with usual care.

The Telemedicine for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (TELE-IBD) clinical trial: qualitative assessment of participants' perceptions.
This qualitative clinical trial examined the use of telemedicine for managing patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The study called TELE-IBD, enrolled 348 patients, with 259 completing the study. Patients completing the study were interviewed after and results were positive in improving quality of life (QOL) by improving patient education and self-management.

Verification of a portable motion tracking system for remote management of physical rehabilitation of the knee.
The authors of this paper developed a remote rehabilitation management system combining two wireless inertial measurement units (IMUs) with an interactive mobile application and a web-based clinician portal (interACTION). The aim of their study was to verify the accuracy of the IMU-based knee angle measurement system during three common physical therapy exercises, quantify the effect of visual feedback on exercise performance, and understand the qualitative experience of the user interface through survey data.
