The Problem

Rehabilitation services remain limited relative to the needs, which are particularly profound in low- and middle-income countries. Access to rehabilitation is limited and, if available, the most marginalized populations cannot afford it. The magnitude of unmet rehabilitation needs demands solutions that increase access to quality, cost-effective rehabilitation services.

The Solution

Open Source multidisciplinary TeleRehabilitation Software connecting rehabilitation professionals with patients to improve access to rehabilitation services and contribute to universal health coverage by facilitating discharge, transition of care and follow-up

How it works?

  • Step 1: Patient clinical evaluation by a rehabilitation professional
  • Step 2: Rehabilitation professional and patient determine a treatment plan and objectives
  • Step 3: The patient accesses the treatment plan remotely via the patient mobile app
  • Step 4: The patient completes treatment plan activities remotely
  • Step 5: The rehabilitation professional follows up with the patient remotely
  • Step 6: The patient is discharged
