Patients were categorized into two groups based on the modality of RM delivery (home [<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009229] vs. office [<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009103] delivered). The study aimed at assessing the efficacy of the new follow\u2010up protocol, assessed as mean RM activation time (AT), and the need for technical support. In addition, patients' acceptance and anxiety status were quantified via the Home Monitoring Acceptance and Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7\u2010item scale.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>AT time was less than 48\u2009h in 93% of patients and 7% of them required further technical support. Despite a higher number of trans\u2010telephonic technical support in the home\u2010delivered RM group, mean AT was similar between groups (1.33\u2009\u00b1\u20090.83 days in home\u2010delivered vs 1.28\u2009\u00b1\u20090.81 days in office\u2010delivered patients; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.60). A total of 28 (2.5%) urgent\/emergent in\u2010person examinations were required.
