Article Synopsis
- Telehealth is being explored for rehabilitation among older adults, particularly veterans recently discharged from hospitals, focusing on enhancing mobility and physical activity.
- A study evaluated 45 older veterans, revealing many had disabilities and low mobility levels, with half experiencing mild cognitive impairment, affecting their ability to engage with telehealth services.
- While two-thirds used VA-provided tablets, many needed technical support or in-person assistance, indicating challenges in accessing telehealth, especially among those with cognitive and physical impairments.
