Research & Clinical Trials

Overview

The Mass General Center for TeleHealth provides researchers with virtual tools to further explore the impact telehealth can have on access, patient experience/satisfaction, impact on certain clinical conditions and other key issues. Research plays a vital role in expanding and improving telehealth programs.

Mass General faculty and researchers are currently conducting multiple research projects exploring various aspects of telemedicine and telehealth services to continue to ensure health care is accessible at the right time and right place and effective for patients. Over the years, our clinical researchers have made significant advancements in this area and are changing the way care is delivered. Below are a sample of recent research publications.
