Web-Based Specialist Support for Spinal Cord Injury Person’s Care: Lessons Learned by Vincenzo Della Mea, Dario Marin, Claudio Rosin, Agostino Zampa

“…Although a number of training courses have been made to introduce SCI persons to portal use (up to 50 users), the number of accesses remained very low. Reasons for that have been investigated by means of a questionnaire submitted to the initial feasibility study subjects and included the still easier use of telephone versus our web-based smartcard-authenticated portal, in particular, because online communications are still perceived as an unusual way of interacting with the doctor. …”
