Telehealth clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Telehealth lets patients talk to doctors using video or phone calls. UCSF is running trials to see if telehealth helps people with skin issues and those recovering from strokes with sleep problems. These studies aim to improve access to medical care from home.
Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery Trial

Direct-to-patient Teledermatology and Computer-assisted Diagnosis
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This study will examine access to dermatology care. The operational partner will implement a direct-to-new patient teledermatology clinical care pathway while the research will study the effects of that implementation, use data associated with deployment to develop and test an Artificial Intelligence system, and understand key stakeholders' attitudes regarding and readiness for remote dermatology care.
