[Entrevista]Vital&Clinic increases your productivity up to 60%

 

Digital platform rehabilitation as REHUB, which we have developed in DYCARE, offer not only a safe and effective alternative to face-to-face treatments, but can also be a fantastic complement and digital ally what Facilitate The daily work of physiotherapists and rehabilitation doctors. 

Centers of physiotherapy comor Vital & CLINIC They began to implement REHUB During the 2019 pandemic and they tell us  your experience. We talk to Sebastian Trujillo and Hugo Quintana, Directors of the Vital Center & clINIC of Malaga and users of REHUB.

What benefits do you think the telemedicine to physical therapists? 

 

There are multiple benefits that it brings, but among them we could highlight: access to health services from anywhere, immediacy, being able to continue providing the service in the face of any unforeseen event, such as COVID-19, reduction in costs without lowering the quality of care and even increasing in some cases; and a long etc.

 “Telerehabilitation is not a simple call. You have to be able to receive objective information on the evolution of the patient.” 

But we also have to be clear that not everything goes in telemedicine and Telerehabilitation, since a simple call we cannot call digital health. It is something that goes further, and we will have to create standards that really make telemedicine a quality service so as not to discredit it. It is the same thing that happens with teleworking, which is now so fashionable:  It is not the same thing as working from home. For example, in telerehabilitation it is an essential condition that we can receive objective information on what the patient does and its evolution.

“In physiotherapy and rehabilitation there is still a long way to go to explore regarding the digitization of processes and services.”

 

What role does monitoring play in a remote rehabilitation treatment?

 

For us es what really differentiates the TelerehabiLitation. Any rehabilitation method that does not monitor, evaluate and is capable of following the patient, does not contribute anything, since you lose control of your treatment, and therefore cannot be called treatment. It will be something else, but not treatment.

“Any rehabilitation method that does not monitor, evaluate and allow patient follow-up does not provide anything.”

How do you think the physiotherapy of the future will be? 

 

The physiotherapy of the future, which for us is already a present, will be a model of mixed physiotherapy, based on face-to-face therapy in centers, homes or any space for treatment Physical, together With an rehabilitation online that the patient himself can  perform at home, at work, or anywhere and at any time of the day.

This will produce multiple benefits, not only for the patient, but for the therapist and for the centers themselves.

“The physiotherapy of the future will be a mixed physiotherapy model, based on face-to-face therapy together with a  rehabilitation online.”
