Although physical exercise is recommended to maintain health and to counteract the deleterious effects of chronic diseases, home exercising is rarely performed autonomously by patients. Hence, there is urgency to introduce and validate rehabilitation protocols based on a combination of technological solutions and specific health requirements in order to guarantee continuity and quality of care to patients with chronic diseases [1]. The aim of this presentation is to describe the development and initial implementation of an integrated platform of telerehabilitation, based on information and communication technologies. The platform is the product of a Lombardy Region grant (Regione Lombardia, Programma Operativo Regionale 2014-2020, “Bando Call HUB Ricerca e Innovazione”) to Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri IRCCS.
