Digitisation and telehealth - Telemedicine in rehabilitation in the Czech environment

Vnitr Lek. 2022 Fall;68(3):166-171.

ABSTRACT

Currently, Telemedicine mainly represents the passive transfer of data from the patient to the doctor, while telerehabilitation is an active therapeutic tool. Telerehabilitation and its applications are mainly the domain of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, clinical speech therapists, clinical psychologists, and other non-medical professionals. Case model of telerehabilitation in the Czech Republic is the model of the Virtual Ambulance for distance therapy in the Rehabilitation Centre Kladruby, which covers all basic areas of rehabilitation (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, speech therapy). It uses platforms developed in the Czech Republic that meet the basic cyber security requirements for secure communication with the patient.
