Reviewer 1 Report
Congratulations to the authors of this study done under the current pandemic circumstances.
Before to accept the paper, some comments can be answered/discussed:
a) The first comment is about the number of participants on this study. According to the provided data on section 2.3, there were only 14 respondents. I think that this number is enough to analyse a trend o analyse a service, but is too low to extract solid conclusions about an issue. A small variation on the answers can change the results significantly.
b) The eHealth system. The questionnaire was conducted over the use of the provided eHealth system, which is intended to monitor the current state of the patient. In this sense, do you think that the results can be biased with respect the nature of this system itself? For instance, imagine that the study was conducted using another prototype that permits the patients interact with the staff about COVID-19.
c) Patient’s centric healthcare. As the authors notice, patients agree the change of perspective during a treatment, which is based on the personalisation of the treatments taking into account a lot of data collected through the eHealth system. At the same time, the other side of the story shows how nurses and staff should change daily routines and increase their workload. I agree with the authors of this study that the current organisations should change in order to include this new paradigm.
