| Summary: | Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized telerehabilitation by integrating machine learning (ML), big data analytics, and real-time feedback to create adaptive, patient-centered care. AI-driven systems enhance telerehabilitation by analyzing patient data to personalize therapy, monitor progress, and suggest adjustments, eliminating the need for constant clinician oversight. The benefits of AI-powered telerehabilitation include increased accessibility, especially for remote or mobility-limited patients, and greater convenience, allowing patients to perform therapies at home. However, challenges persist, such as data privacy risks, the digital divide, and algorithmic bias. Robust encryption protocols, equitable access to technology, and diverse training datasets are critical to addressing these issues. Ethical considerations also arise, emphasizing the need for human oversight and maintaining the therapeutic relationship. AI also aids clinicians by automating administrative tasks and facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration. Innovations like 5G networks, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and robotics further enhance telerehabilitation’s potential. By transforming rehabilitation into a dynamic, engaging, and personalized process, AI and telerehabilitation together represent a paradigm shift in healthcare, promising improved outcomes and broader access for patients worldwide. |
