“…A growing body of evidence supports the contention that DMH's practice model significantly reduces the cost of care while improving quality of care and patient satisfaction [5,6]. Those claims are being further tested in a nationwide project of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) called the Independence at Home Medical Practice Demonstration Program [7].…”

“…Landers recent opinion is that "the venue of care for the future is the patient's home, where clinicians can combine old-fashioned sensibilities and caring with the application of new technologies to respond to major demographic, epidemiologic, and health care trends. Five major forces are driving health care into the home: the aging population, epidemics of chronic diseases, technological advances, health care consumerism, and rapidly escalating health care costs" (Landers, 2010).…”

The data collection can be done either automatically through personal health monitoring devices (portable, wearable or implantable), or through the patient's active cooperation (insert web of physiological parameters measurements) (Landers, 2010).…”

Telemedicine, defined by the World Health Organization as 'integrative part of telecommunication systems in the promotion of public health', generates different positive results: more efficiency, less costs, better patient's quality of life. Thanks to the advances in diagnostic technologies, information technologies, remote monitoring and long-distance care, telemedicine have increased the viability of home-based care, even for patients with serious conditions. At the same time we observe the increase in the elderly population suffering from pluripatologyand chronic diseases, that causes an increasing recourse to medical and hospital care; but prolonged hospital stay can determine loss of function and psychophysical disorders. Telemedicine is 'the investigation, monitoring and management of patients and education of patients and staff using systems which allow ready access to expert advice and patient information, no matter where the patient or relevant information is located'. We are empowering in different areas new biomedical and information technology as a support to clinical practice. The goal is to make a case study and to use for future analysis. In the experimental phase 4 patients were followed on hemodialysis and 4 in peritoneal dialysis, previously evaluated for clinical, social, logistical and psychological conditions. It is estimated that today there are 50.000 patients on dialysis and about 10.000 new cases a year only in Italy. Naturally there are threats to solve because users face difficulties, in terms of interaction with robots, in their usual context of life.The right methodology needs to coordinate the entire hospital, different professionals, patients, providing tools for care givers that follow patients, training technicians, aligning data col-
