Telerehabilitation, also known as e-rehabilitation or teletherapy, is a form of rehabilitation services delivered remotely through technology. It leverages telecommunications and information technology to provide rehabilitation services to individuals who may not have easy access to traditional in-person rehabilitation services.This is particularly beneficial for individuals in rural or underserved areas who may face challenges in accessing in-person rehabilitation.
According to the United Nations Office Drugsurvey in 2021, 84% of patients are more likely to select a provider that offers telerehabilitation.
Rising cost-effective solutions
The accessibility, effectiveness, and affordability of rehabilitation services are improved by the emergence of more affordable telerehabilitation options. They make it possible to remotely monitor the rehabilitation progress of patients, which can help identify problems early, provide timely treatments, and lower the risk of consequences. In addition, they provide continuous and preventative care that lowers hospital readmission rates, optimises the use of healthcare resources, and offers home-based rehabilitation programmes and virtual consultations. These factors fuel the telerehabilitation market's expansion.
Limited physical examination
Some rehabilitation treatments require hands-on assessments and physical manipulations that are challenging to replicate remotely. Certain aspects of a patient's condition may be overlooked, leading to an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis. Also, limited physical examination may raise legal and liability concerns, particularly if a patient's condition worsens. Therefore, the inability to perform certain physical examinations may limit the scope of telerehabilitation.
Increasing technological advancements
Technological advancements in telerehabilitation contribute to the improving accessibility, personalization, engagement, and overall effectiveness of rehabilitation services delivered remotely. They make it easier for healthcare professionals to collaborate and share expertise across borders. Also, as telehealth services become more prevalent, there is an increased focus on ensuring the security and privacy of patient data. Technological advancements in encryption, authentication, and secure communication protocols contribute to building trust in telerehabilitation solutions. Further, growing usage of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in telerehabilitation is boosting the market demand.
Quality of care concerns
Skepticism about the quality of care delivered through remote methods may pose a threat. Patients may find it challenging to stay motivated and engaged in telerehabilitation sessions compared to in-person sessions. Healthcare providers and patients sometimes may not be adequately trained in using telehealth technology. This lack of familiarity can lead to misunderstandings, difficulties in communication, and an overall decrease in the quality of care provided.
The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the telerehabilitation market. Telerehabilitation have played a prominent role in bridging the gap between the patients and healthcare consultants.
