Domanda : Il monitoraggio remoto viene richiesto in tutti i lotti, ma senza valutazione qualitativa oggettiva della soluzione proposta (caratteristica non a punteggio). I sistemi di monitoraggio remoto presenti sul mercato offrono soluzioni tecniche, con diverso impatto clinico ed economico. In alcuni casi queste soluzioni sono comprovate da una notevole evidenza scientifica ed economica sulle maggiori riviste scientifiche internazionali con elevato impact factor. I risultati di questi studi dimostrano un impatto rilevante di alcuni sistemi di monitoraggio remoto su diversi end-point clinici, tra i quali riduzione di mortalità, miglioramento della qualità di vita, riduzione dei costi di gestione del paziente, e molti altri (1) . Si chiede dunque che vengano inseriti dei criteri oggettivi di valutazione qualitativa delle soluzioni di monitoraggio remoto offerte.
