Cover Story: This work presents a software system for the online provision and collection of questionnaires, which exploits a sentiment analysis-based approach to monitor patients’ adherence to telehomecare programs. The idea is that the sentiment, i.e., the degree of positiveness/negativeness expressed by patients through their responses to questionnaires, may be related to their adherence and be used to predict drop-out. The system was validated with a case study involving the home telemonitoring program provided by the Cystic Fibrosis Unit at the “Bambino Gesù” Children’s Hospital, Italy. Experimental results show that, under a Granger causality perspective, a predictive relationship exists between the polarity and adherence score, which may be used for the early detection of the poor adherence of patients to telehomecare programs.
