Emergence of Covid-19, Increasing Penetration of Internet, and Growing Adoption

Posted by coherent market insights on January 15th, 2021

Telerehabilitation systems are finding traction in the recent past across the globe. Major factors that are promoting growth of these systems are emergence of Covid-19, increasing penetration of internet, and growing adoption of smartphones. As healthcare practices are being transformed to address new medical and scientific developments, the scope of treatment offered by traditional inpatient and in-home care has expanded. It is not uncommon to see a physician or psychologist order more than one session with a patient to address a variety of needs, such as understanding the diagnosis and treatment of a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or chronic pain. In recent years, the term "telemedicine" has entered the picture, with patients being referred to therapists who use advanced technology to communicate with their patients.

With advances in technology, advances in the patient's recovery have been dramatic. Using telerehabilitation systems, physicians and psychologists are able to conduct real-time diagnostic tests and provide ongoing care to those whose lives are affected by various chronic disorders. Insurance companies and physicians are also increasingly referring their clients to telerehabilitation specialists to provide in-house treatment for their physical rehabilitation needs.

Although many in the field of mental health and addiction have begun to understand the value of a comprehensive plan of care, many individuals suffering from these disorders remain addicted or suffer from serious depression. The emotional and physical stress associated with substance abuse and mental illness often makes it difficult to establish appropriate patterns of behavior. As a result, when relapse does occur, symptoms can be disabling and nearly impossible to reverse. Telerehabilitation systems can help patients return to work, school, and society with the assistance of a trained therapist who can facilitate communication between the patient and his or her therapists. Telerehabilitation can also provide patients with the opportunity to engage in rewarding outside activities such as sports, socializing with friends, traveling, and volunteer work.
