Core Tip	In a home-based "timeliness-incentive" randomized clinical trial, 108 metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease patients receiving home care plus micro, immediate rewards for 7 months showed markedly lower liver fat, weight, aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase, lipids and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol vs usual care, alongside superior diet, exercise and self-management scores, proving that low-cost timeliness-incentive tele-health can reverse metabolic-liver injury and should be widely adopted.
