Impact of telehealth on stroke survivor-caregiver dyad in at-home rehabilitation: A systematic review

CONCLUSIONS: The results support the application of telehealth in the discharge phase of hospitals and rehabilitation centres for stroke survivors and caregivers. TLR could be considered a substitute for traditional rehabilitation only if it is supported by a tele-learning programme for the caregiver and ongoing technical, computer and health support to satisfy the dyad's needs.IMPACT: Designing a comprehensive telemedicine programme upon the return home of the dyad involved in the stroke improves the quality of life, functional, psychological, social, family status, self-efficacy, use of health systems and the dyad's preparation for managing the stroke.PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.PMID:38563582 | DOI:10.1111/jan.16177
