Digital rehabilitation
Digital rehabilitation is an umbrella term defined as the use of digital technologies in the rehabilitation process by self-driven service
users, rehabilitation or health professionals, community health workers or other individuals assisting the service user. Digital rehabilitation includes remote and telerehabilitation solutions, messaging solutions, and robot- or AI-assisted technologies to improve the accessibility of rehabilitation services. Similarly to traditional rehabilitation, digital rehabilitation aims to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in their interactions with their environment.
Digital-first in rehabilitation
Digital-first rehabilitation is an approach within the broader field of digital rehabilitation. It prioritizes usage of digital solutions as the first point of contact or in some cases the main way to deliver rehabilitation services. By blending digital and traditional models of rehabilitation, a human-centered, personalized, and accessible approach to multidisciplinary rehabilitation can be ensured.
