Telemedicine stroke prevention program for rural elderly adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using telemedicine (remote health technology) combined with care at a local village clinic can better prevent strokes and manage stroke risk in older adults living in rural areas. Participants will receive ongoing health monitoring and support tailored to their stroke risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
