Remote Research: Resources, Intervention Needs, and Methods in People with Diabetes and Peripheral Neuropathy
Authors' conclusion
Older adults with type 2 diabetes and peripheral neuropathy would need technological and personal assistance (connection, device, guidance) to complete a long-term telehealth intervention. Despite technology needs, participants were interested in telehealth interventions.
