Introduction: Telemedicine, propelled by recent technological advancements, has transformed healthcare delivery, notably benefiting patients with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus. This meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials aimed to assess the efficacy of telehealth-based interventions on disease control rates and clinical parameters among NCD patients, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.
Methods: We conducted searches in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database for interventional studies that compared tele-monitoring with usual care in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Meta-analysis shows that home tele-monitoring (HTM) improves glycaemic control in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) up to 12 months, but their health outcomes after HTM cessation remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the health outcomes of these patients 18 months after completing 6 months of HTM, compared to standard care.
Methods: Patients with T2DM were enrolled in an open-labelled randomised controlled trial, aged 26 to 65 years, and suboptimal glycaemic control (HbA1c = 7.

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation is a beneficial multidisciplinary treatment of exercise promotion, patient education, risk factor management, and psychosocial counseling for people with coronary heart disease (CHD) that is underutilized due to substantial disparities in access, referral, and participation. Empirical studies suggest that cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) have safety and efficacy comparable to traditional in-person cardiac rehabilitation, however, older adults are under-reported with effectiveness, feasibility, and usability remains unclear.
Methods: The study randomized 43 older adults (84 % males) to the 12-week CTR intervention or standard of care.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of integrated personalized diabetes management (iPDM) through telemedicine (tele-iPDM) with regard to glycaemic control.
Methods: A 6-month single-centre, open-label, prospective randomized controlled trial enrolled insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 18-65 years with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of 7.5%-10.

Introduction: Telehealth increases care accessibility to patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus but the duration of its implementation to sustain optimal glycaemic control remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the health outcomes of these patients using the Optimizing care of Patients via Telemedicine In Monitoring and aUgmenting their control of diabetes Mellitus (OPTIMUM) home tele-monitoring (HTM) system 6 months post-intervention, compared to standard care.
Methods: An open-labelled randomized controlled trial involving 330 participants with type-2 diabetes mellitus, aged 26-65 years, and suboptimal glycaemic control (HbA1c = 7.
