TeleRehab

Telehealth or as we call it, TeleRehab, refers to the practice of caring for patients remotely, when the Physical or Occupational Therapist and patient are not physically present with each other. This service enables the distribution of health-related services via electronic information and telecommunication technologies. It allows long-distance patient and therapist contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring and even remote admissions. Basically, it makes it possible for therapists to treat patients whenever needed and wherever the patient is, by using a computer or smartphone. Modern technology has enabled Therapists the ability to consult patients by using HIPAA compliant video-conferencing tools. This technology has the potential to improve the quality of health care and to make it accessible to more people.
