Editorials: Dual Reflections on Telerehabilitation

Abstract

Two complementary editorials are presented by two IJT editors. The first editorial reflects upon aspects of the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and telerehabilitation and points out that current AI terminology, in which AI is employed as “an umbrella term” can be imprecise and confusing. The second editorial observes that telerehabilitation is now entering a new stage of development in which digital health, computer science, artificial intelligence, and rehabilitation medicine are becoming increasingly integrated. The future use of Human Digital Twins as dynamic, patient-centered digital representations will enable individualized assessment, rehabilitation planning, monitoring of patient trajectories, and decision support across distributed care environments.
