AB (1) Background: We present the protocol of a randomized controlled trial designed toevaluate the benefit of a novel clinical decision support system for the management of patients withCOVID-19. (2) Methods: The study will recruit up to 500 participants (250 cases and 250 controls).Both groups will receive the conventional telephone follow-up protocol by primary care and will alsobe provided with access to a mobile application, in which they will be able to report their symptomsthree times a day. In addition, patients in the active group will receive a wearable smartwatch and apulse oximeter at home for real-time monitoring. The measured data will be visualized by primarycare and emergency health service professionals, allowing them to detect in real time the progressionand complications of the disease in order to promote early therapeutic interventions based on theirclinical judgement. (3) Results: Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the Drug ResearchEthics Committee of the Valladolid East Health Area (CASVE-NM-21-516). The results obtainedfrom this study will form part of the thesis of two PhD students and will be disseminated throughpublication in a peer-reviewed journal. (4) Conclusions: The implementation of this telemonitoringsystem can be extrapolated to patients with other similar diseases, such as chronic diseases, with ahigh prevalence and need for close monitoring.
