Abstrakt: This article provides an overview of the use of telemedicine in decentralized clinical research. It discusses how telemedicine can be used for various aspects of clinical trials, including data collection, participant engagement, and safety monitoring. The article highlights the potential benefits of telemedicine, such as improved access to clinical trials and increased participant retention. However, it also acknowledges limitations, such as the lack of integration with research-specific tools and potential barriers for participants with physical or cognitive limitations. The article emphasizes the need for further research to fully understand the applications and limitations of telemedicine in decentralized research. The document also includes a compilation of references on related topics, such as the impact of COVID-19 on clinical trials and the use of telemedicine in specific medical fields. The studies and articles explore the potential of telemedicine to improve access to clinical trials, increase participant engagement, and address healthcare disparities. They also emphasize the importance of digital health literacy and patient-centered approaches in research. [Extracted from the article]
