Overview

In some countries, telerehabilitation has been a common part of healthcare for several years. In the Czech Republic, telerehabilitation became known to the professional public in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was also an acute need to provide care in the field of clinical Speech Therapy. In the last two years, the rapid development of telerehabilitation also carries the risks associated with the use of methods that do not meet the requirements for cyber security and general data protection regulations. This article deals with the clarification of the terms “telehealth”, “telemedicine”, “telerehabilitation” and their forms. The article informs clinicians about the global need to develop telerehabilitation guidelines, the legislative requirements for cyber security, patient personal data protection and the technical advances in telerehabilitation in the Czech Republic, as well as future trends.

Keywords:
