Abstract
With great interest we read the article by Dirikgil et al . [1], in which they demonstrate the potential of home monitoring to reduce hospital admissions by safely surveying clinical symptoms and vital parameters. They encourage the further consideration of strategies for home monitoring larger patient groups and, particularly, patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Home monitoring reduces hospital stay of patients with COVID-19, which increases regular healthcare capacity <https://bit.ly/3CdFp1z> We would like to thank F. de Winter and the home monitoring team of the St Antonius Hospital for their commitment to this study.
