OpenTeleRehab is an open source, multidisciplinary telerehabilitation software connecting rehabilitation professionals with service users to improve access to rehabilitation services and contribute to universal health coverage by facilitating discharge, transition of care and follow-up. The software allows its users to access tailor-made rehabilitation treatment plans adapted to a variety of conditions. It enables rehabilitation professionals to provide continued support and follow-up via chat or video communication, including plan adherence and goal achievement tracking.
OpenTeleRehab is a combination of 3 different modules that interact with each other. The first module is a web application for Administrators to manage contents, users and system settings. The second module is a web application for Therapists to manage patient accounts, design treatment plans, set up appointments and organize communication. The third module is a mobile application for patients to access tailor-made treatment plans and get in contact with therapists.
A satellite open access web app, OpenTeleRehab Library, allows the public to access, review and contribute to a global telerehabilitation clinical library of contents (Exercises, Information and Education Materials and Questionnaires).
