Home Monitoring Delivered Through the Emergency Department for Outpatients With COVID-19: COVID19@Home Aachen Pilot Cohort Study
This study highlighted the challenges associated with implementing nonsupervised home monitoring for outpatients with COVID-19 who presented to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital. Implementing such a system without the involvement of additional personnel does not appear to be the optimal approach. We suggest that the physician-patient relationship might be a factor that is essential for the success of patient-led approaches to home monitoring.
