Introducing a telemonitoring platform for diabetic patients in primary care: will it increase the socio-digital divide?
It is possibly worthwhile to implement a telemonitoring platform in a primary care setting; however this study did not show immediate profit for implementation in a CHC that organises diabetes clinics on regular basis. In primary care settings where it will be implemented, even if there is a social-digital divide today, the use of a telemonitoring platform could possibly reduce inequity in health care as time could become available for those most in need for face-to-face contact with their physician.
These results provide important new insights concerning the cerebral basis of complex human cognition such as planning and multitasking.
