Telephysiotherapy
The EvoCare concept calls physical therapy from a distance “telephysiotherapy.” Patients are able to practice their physical therapy in their own home environment, yet under the guidance of a physical therapist. The mutual contact is facilitated by a webcam.
From an existing clinic in Deventer specially trained physical therapists work according to the EvoCare concept. They keep contact with their patients through a secure mobile connection. The patients does their training in their own environment. The therapist controls if the exercises are being properly executed, both by observing through the webcam as well as through a logbook. The therapist can guide the patient through new exercises as well as provide assistance during the execution. It has been proven that patients work harder under supervision. This leads to better results and a higher feeling of trust in the therapy.
After visiting the Rehacare trade show in Düsseldorf, Germany, Oost NV brought the Evocare concept to the attention of the current license holder in the Dutch market.
