Reviewer 2 Report

This paper discusses the change made by adapting teleconference system in RC-MTB. I think that this is a good paper since readers can understand the preparation procedure of RC-MTB. But more information of built IT system must be provided for clear understanding and publication. 

Specific comments. 

1. Bulit-IT platform can include artificial intelligence (AI) system. Role of Care manager will be replaced by AI system in the future. System development discussion of IT platform in the perspective of AI can be include in this manuscript.    

2. Previous system without IT platform must be described for clear comparison between 2019 and 2020. 

3. You can provide cost and man-power for construction and operation of IT platform.
