Abstract

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.
