The present feasibility study aims at investigating the potential multidimensional advantages, related to an innovative telehealth ecosystem (whose name is T-CUBE), grounding on digital technologies (DTs), designed as a telemonitoring, telerehabilitation and telesupporting integrated program. Given robust efficacy and safety results, amply demonstrated for DTs in scientific evidence, the study would explore the economic and organizational sustainability, as well as the healthcare professionals’ technology acceptance, that are topics little investigated in the literature stream devoted to telemedicine ecosystems and DTs.

To explore the rise of emerging ecosystems in healthcare, T-CUBE was tested within the COVID-19 and chronic diseases settings, compared with the usual care, based on the on-site monitoring, supporting and rehabilitation activities, thus conducting an ex-ante impact assessment.

Results demonstrated the sustainability of T-CUBE implementation, within the Lombardy Region setting, with important economic benefits (ranging from −47% to −77%), and an improvement (+51%) in the overall accessibility to care. Healthcare professionals would effectively use the innovative ecosystem to guarantee the taking in charge and the continuity of care of patients. According to the results and given the scalable nature of T-CUBE, healthcare providers should be knowledgeable about the telemedicine solutions that could freeing up economic resources to be reinvested in the enlargement of population taken in charge.

数字技术和 COVID-19 大流行:创新远程医疗平台的可行性和接受度



目前的可行性研究旨在调查与创新远程医疗生态系统(其名称为 T-CUBE)相关的潜在多维优势,该生态系统以数字技术(DT)为基础,设计为远程监护、远程康复和远程支持综合计划。鉴于科学证据充分证明了 DT 的强大功效和安全性结果,该研究将探讨经济和组织的可持续性以及医疗保健专业人员的技术接受度,这些主题在致力于远程医疗生态系统和 DT 的文献流中很少研究。


为了探索医疗保健领域新兴生态系统的崛起,T-CUBE 在 COVID-19 和慢性病环境中进行了测试,与常规护理进行比较,基于现场监测、支持和康复活动,从而进行了事前评估。对影响的评估。


结果表明,在伦巴第地区实施 T-CUBE 具有可持续性,具有重要的经济效益(从 -47% 到 -77%),并且整体护理可及性得到改善(+51%)。医疗保健专业人员将有效地利用创新的生态系统来保证对患者的负责和护理的连续性。根据结果​​,考虑到 T-CUBE 的可扩展性,医疗保健提供者应该了解远程医疗解决方案,这些解决方案可以释放经济资源,重新投资于扩大负责的人口。
