<title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> <p>The COVID-19 pandemic forms a unique challenge. Despite significant efforts, the pandemic has put enormous pressure on healthcare systems all around the world and has threatened the quality of healthcare. Telemonitoring offers the opportunity to carefully monitor patients with (suspected) COVID-19 and identify hypoxia and/or worsening of symptoms at an early stage. Additionally, it may optimize the use of scarce resources and healthcare capacity as it enables monitoring of patients at their homes rather than in the hospital. In this article, we present a COVID-19 telemonitoring care pathway developed at a tertiary care hospital in the Netherlands, combining monitoring of vital parameters with video consultations for an adequate clinical assessment. Additionally, we report a series of medical, scientific, organizational and ethical recommendations to facilitate the implementation of similar telemonitoring pathways for COVID-19 patients worldwide.</p>
