Dataset related to the article "Feasibility of remote home monitoring with a T-shirt wearable device in post-recovery COVID-19 patients"

Our study demonstrated that a postdischarge home monitoring program for COVID-19 patients is feasible and well tolerated. The L.I.F.E. T-shirt device was able to collect a full set of cardiorespiratory parameters (i.e. heart rate, a full ECG, respiratory rate, SpO₂), both at rest and during brief exercise, which are valuable in patients suffering from respiratory diseases. As the medium-term and long-term consequences of COVID-19 infection are still unknown, implementing strategies of postrecovery monitoring are useful to identify patients at risk of clinical deterioration.^7,8 Moreover, it could help to shorten hospital stays, a particularly desirable goal, given the lack of beds typically experienced during a pandemic crisis and, keeping people at home, it could mitigate the in-hospital transmission of COVID-19.^7,8 In addition, despite the lack of a specific questionnaire on satisfaction and acceptance, telephone contact was performed on a daily basis to confirm that the study procedures were well tolerated, with most of the patients reporting feeling reassured by being monitored. Our population, as shown by baseline cardiorespiratory parameters, was at low risk of events. The full potential of this kind of home monitoring will not only be probably experienced in the clinical context of more severe COVID-19 patients but also in other clinical scenarios. Finally, given the small sample size, we were able to identify only one patient without any previous disease who presented post-COVID sleep apnea syndrome. Further studies are certainly needed to assess the prevalence and the clinical impact of this complication in post-COVID-19 patients.本研究证实，针对新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）患者的出院后家庭监测方案具备可行性，且患者耐受良好。L.I.F.E. T-shirt设备可在静息状态及轻度运动时采集全套心肺参数，包括心率、完整心电图（Electrocardiogram, ECG）、呼吸频率及SpO₂，此类参数对于呼吸系统疾病患者具有重要临床价值。由于新冠病毒感染的中长期后遗症尚不明确，推行康复后监测策略有助于识别存在临床恶化风险的患者^7,8。此外，鉴于疫情大流行期间普遍存在床位短缺问题，缩短住院时长是极具现实意义的目标，该监测方案可助力实现这一点；同时，通过让患者居家监测，还可降低新冠病毒感染在院内的传播风险^7,8。除此之外，尽管未采用专门的满意度与接受度调查问卷，研究团队每日通过电话联络以确认患者对研究流程的耐受情况，多数患者表示接受监测令他们感到安心。根据基线心肺参数来看，本研究纳入的受试者整体发生不良事件的风险较低。此类家庭监测方案的全部潜力，不仅可在重症COVID-19患者的临床场景中得到充分发挥，亦可应用于其他临床情境。最后，由于本研究样本量较小，仅发现1例无基础疾病的患者出现新冠感染后睡眠呼吸暂停综合征。后续仍需开展更多研究，以评估该并发症在新冠感染后患者中的患病率及其临床影响。
