Remote Rehabilitation: A Solution to Overloaded & Scarce Health Care Systems_ Crimson Publishers
Remote Rehabilitation: A Solution to Overloaded & Scarce Health Care Systems by Karla Muñoz Esquivel* in Trendsin Telemedicine & E-health
The population across Northern Europe is aging. Coupled with
socio-economic challenges, health
care systems are at risk of overloading and incurring unsustainable high
costs. Rehabilitation services are used disproportionately by older people. One
solution pertinent to rural areas is to change the model of rehabilitation to
incorporate new technologies. This has the potential to free resources and
reduce costs. However, implementation is challenging. In the Northern Periphery
and Artic Programme (NPA), the Smart sensor Devices for rehabilitation and Connected health (SENDoc)
project [1] is focused on introducing wearable sensor systems among
elderly communities to support their rehabilitation. It is important to
understand the context into which change is introduced. Therefore, an overview
of the current state of health
care systems in the four partner countries is presented, defining the
concept of rehabilitation and how remote rehabilitation is currently delivered
