Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an integrated digital and telemedicine care model works to manage decompensated cirrhosis in patients. It will also learn about the impact of this model on healthcare resource consumption and patient quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does this telemedicine model lower the number of cirrhosis-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits? 2. Does the model reduce medical expenses and improve disease outcomes compared to standard care? Researchers will compare the digital telemedicine care model (utilizing the NTUH-TPC platform and wearable devices) to standard health care to see if the digital approach effectively reduces hospital admissions and medical costs. Participants will: 1. Use the NTUH telehealth platform (NTUH-TPC) to access records and upload physiological, medical, and imaging data. 2. Wear a smart watch for remote physiological monitoring. Receive continuous remote care and proactive follow-ups from case managers.
