Study Overview
Brief Summary
The health emergency related to the SARS CoV2 pandemic has highlighted the problems of health management of patients at risk of COVID19 and with chronic diseases, suggesting the need for new methods of patient monitoring. Teleconsultation, and telemedicine in general, are applications that allow, at these times when access to hospitals is by definition limited, to monitor patients with chronic conditions who need regular and consistent care and monitoring. People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) represent a paradigm of chronic patients on whom the development of e-health-based remote monitoring could have a significant impact in terms of maintaining an adequate standard of care. For these reasons, in a large teaching hospital we are planning the creation and use of an application to enable remote monitoring of PLWHA by combining the COVID19 prescreening system and chronicity monitoring.
