The environmental impact of telemonitoring vs. on-site cardiac follow-up: a mixed-method study
Telemonitoring had a substantially bigger environmental impact than CoS in the studied setting. Patient commute distance, reuse of devices, and tailored use of devices should be considered when implementing telemonitoring for clinical follow-up. Patients and HPs supported these solutions to enhance sustainability-informed cardiovascular care as the default option.
