Abstract :
Edited from ABC News 3/20/2000: A $28 million study involving diabetes patients will show doctors whether it can be beneficial and affordable to use the Internet to make high-tech house calls. Upstate Medical University in Syracuse and Columbia University in New York City will use a federal grant to deliver health care through the Internet into the homes of 750 rural and inner-city diabetes patients over the next four years.
