Video Consultations for Insulin Pump-Treated Type 1 Diabetes: Non-Inferior Glycemic Control with Nuanced Patient Outcomes

A 52-week RCT demonstrates that video consultations achieve comparable Time in Range (TiR) to physical visits for T1D patients on insulin pumps. While the intervention improved HbA1c and treatment satisfaction, it was associated with an inferior impact on patient quality of life.

Telemedicine is Superior to Onboard Neurologists for Optimizing Mobile Stroke Unit Efficiency: Results from the MSU-TELEMED Trial

The MSU-TELEMED trial demonstrates that a telemedicine model for mobile stroke units significantly improves neurologist resource utilization while maintaining safety, outperforming the traditional onboard neurologist model in a hierarchical composite outcome despite a minor four-minute treatment decision delay.
