Older adults’ needs and requirements for a comprehensive exergame-based telerehabilitation system
The aim of this study was to investigate the needs and requirements that elderly people/patients and health professionals have for "telerehabilitation". Telerehabilitation means that by means of information and communication technologies (ICTs) training or therapy can be offered without physical contact sometimes over large distances (e.g. at home). Six focus groups were conducted with a total of 34 participants. The results showed that both older people/patients and health professionals are very interested in such approaches to telerehabilitation and would like to try them out. Important requirements are that the technologies used are easy to use and that appropriate training takes place and that a contact person is always available. Based on these results, Dividat is developing a telerehabilitation system with a product (SensoFlex) for cognitive-motor training at the patient's home.
