A radar chart of the trust scores from IBD patients, assessed through an adapted version of the PAtient Trust Assessment Tool (PATAT) questionnaire. Five trust areas are investigated: care organization (1.1–1.5), care professionals (2.1–2.5), treatment (3.1–3.5), technology (4.1–4.5) and telemedicine services (5.1–5.5). The continuous line refers to the patients giving a score ≥ 4 (out of 5) in a Likert Scale. The dotted line refers to the patients giving a score ≤ 3. Statements 2.5, 3.4, 5.3 and 5.5 were negative. Regarding the trust in telemedicine services, items 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 received a score of least 4 in 95%, 90% and 84% of the cases, respectively.
