Why is it important?

Our research shows that technological innovation in remote management of chronic condition can lead to unforeseen outcomes. In particular, if the patient-doctor relationship is based on a significant self-management on the patient side the introduction of a system that aims at re-assign a central role to providers may not have the desired effects.
