Combining in-person, virtual GI care yields ‘meaningful improvements’ (Healio)

A new study presented at ACG 2025 showed that patients receiving both in-person and virtual multidisciplinary GI care experienced major improvements in symptom severity, control, and satisfaction — while cutting all-cause costs by up to 25%. The hybrid model, led by dietitians, psychologists, and GI specialists, reduced ER visits and surgeries across nearly 2,000 patients. As Oshi Health’s Dr. Sameer Berry noted, it’s not telehealth vs. traditional care — it’s the combination that’s transforming outcomes.
