About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether telemonitoring, added to the usual process of adaptation to home mechanical ventilation (HMV), achieves a more efficient correction of hypoventilation (reduction of hypercapnia).
Eligibility criteria

Signing of informed consent.
Disqualifiers
Patient already treated with mechanical ventilation or home CPAP.
Patient requiring mechanical ventilation as life support.
