Abstract

The delivery of physical therapy (PT) services in a home health setting presents unique challenges and opportunities, particularly as the demand for personalized, patient-centric care continues to grow. Remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) has emerged as a transformative tool, enabling therapists to monitor patients’ progress, adherence, and outcomes beyond the traditional in-person visits. Leveraging technologies, such as wearable devices, mobile applications, and telecommunication platforms, RTM bridges the gap between sessions, fostering greater patient engagement and facilitating real-time feedback for clinicians. In home health care, where patients often have limited access to clinic-based resources, RTM has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. By capturing objective data on parameters like range of motion, strength, and activity levels, RTM empowers therapists to make informed decisions, tailor interventions, and optimize outcomes. Additionally, it aids in addressing common barriers, such as missed appointments, lack of motivation, or difficulties in self-management, which can impede recovery.
