7 keys to choose the best telerehabilitation platform

More and more insurance companies, hospitals, clinics, and physiotherapy centers are opting for telerehabilitation solutions to offer a better service to their clients and patients.  

But what should be taken into account to choose the most suitable telerehabilitation platform? What are the main functions that benefit physiotherapists and rehabilitation physicians? What requirements are essential to obtain the best possible experience for patients?  

These are the 7 main elements that a digital rehabilitation solution must have according to our experience: 

1. Defining the patient’s diagnosis for a correct therapeutic program.

In order to be able to create a rehabilitation exercise program, firstly you need to have the essential data that will allow a detailed evaluation of the patient’s condition.  

This is why it is so useful for the telerehabilitation platform to have a section that specifically provides the patient’s condition, limitations, pathology, and functional assessment. Likewise, it is essential that the platform allows monitoring the patient’s level of improvement and progress. 

2. Visualization in video format of a catalog of preloaded exercises and creation of new ones.

Once the professional has the diagnosis, a telerehabilitation platform must offer the possibility of choosing amongst exercises already available and validated by professionals. The ease with which they can be classified will be a determining factor; they must allow a quick and intuitive search to optimize the specialist’s time to the maximum.  

An important and determining key when choosing the technological rehabilitation tool is that it offers the possibility of creating new exercises by the specialist, which will provide the flexibility and personalization that all professionals in the sector require for their patients.  

3. Maximum customization of rehabilitation programs.

If we ask most rehabilitation doctors and physiotherapists, they will agree that the more personalized treatment is, the more effective the patient’s recovery will be. 

Consequently, a good telerehabilitation platform should contemplate the planning of sessions and exercises in an individualized way so that each user can work specifically on what his or her particular condition requires. The connection with sensors allows customizing the range of mobility, speed, strength, for total control of the patient’s performance. 

The above-mentioned preloaded exercises are a basis for the creation of this personalized program, which the physiotherapist should be able to design and add new ones until the best rehabilitation treatment is achieved for each patient.
