Investigating feasibility of using a telerehabilitation program for patients after knee surgery

Now we are conducting the last step of the project by recruiting patient at the Hospital prior to the knee operation. The patients are receiving the telerehabilitation equipment and are being monitored by project health professionals. Each patient is following 8-week post-operative telerehabilitation program using the given equipment and the health professional are monitoring and communicating with patient remotely.

We have recruited the first patient last week and looking forward to recruiting the remaining 15 patients for this study.

Hjertepatienters erfaringer med en telerehabiliterings web-portal

Er du interesseret i at vide hvordan brugen af en online portal, der er udviklet som et værktøj til telerehabilitering af patienter med hjertelidelser, kan bruges til både patientuddannelse og forbedring af patienternes sundhedskompetencer?

Laboratoriet for Velfærdsteknologi har netop fået udgivet en artikel i journalen Patient Education and Counseling:
Cardiac patients’ experiences with a telerehabilitation web portal: Implications for eHealth literacy.
