Abstract

Introduction: Medical care has recently been moving from wards to outpatient clinics due to a growing number of patients, convenient therapeutic approaches and rising emphasis on quality of life. There is an increased need for intensive monitoring of haemato-oncological patients undergoing long-lasting treatment especially when serious infectious complications are expected. Telemedicine is a great tool to keep an eye on patients spending most of their treatment at home, where reaction time plays an important role in reducing the impact of severe adverse events.
